Students in Oyo State, Nigeria, were filmed praying intensely for the rescue of kidnapped schoolchildren and teachers after a violent attack on multiple schools.
The children lifted their hands, cried, and prayed for those taken, turning a classroom into a place of desperate intercession.
The incident has drawn attention to the painful reality facing many Nigerian families, where insecurity has forced even schoolchildren to pray over crises no child should have to carry.
Their prayers reflect both the suffering of a community under fear and the enduring faith of children asking God for rescue, protection, and peace.
