{Nigerian police are searching for six children abducted from their school on the outskirts of the main city, Lagos.}<\/p>\n
The abductors freed four other children after “profiling” their parents, police said, apparently referring to the fact that they were not regarded as wealthy.<\/p>\n
The men came through a swampy forest bordering the state-run Model College school, and cut a hole in the fence to enter, police said.<\/p>\n
Schools in Lagos have been hit by several kidnappings for ransom.<\/p>\n
Four children were abducted from the same school in October 2016, and three from another school in Lagos in March this year. They were later freed.<\/p>\n
Lagos police spokesman Olarinde Famous-Cole condemned the abductions as “dastardly” and said an operation was under way to rescue the girls and apprehend the kidnappers.<\/p>\n
