The record

Corruption Case Database

Every investigation structured the same way: status, actors, amounts, documents, timeline, court outcomes. Distinct from the Evidence Vault (raw documents) — this is the story of each case, with receipts attached. Allegations are labeled as allegations.

Schoolchildren Abductions — May 2026: all victims now rescued

On Friday 15 May 2026, just 12 days before Nigeria's Children's Day, gunmen carried out coordinated school raids in two states. More than 50 pupils were taken from schools in Borno, and at least 39 students and 7 teachers were seized in Oyo — including, according to community lists, a 2-year-old toddler. All abducted pupils and teachers have since been rescued and reunited with their families.
