Another 130 abducted students released in Nigeria
Stockholm, Dec. 22 (Hibya) – Nigerian authorities announced that another 130 students abducted from a Catholic boarding school in Niger State, in the central part of the country, have been released.
The Nigerian federal government described the latest release, following one of the country’s worst mass abductions, as a “moment of victory and relief.”
On November 21, more than 250 children and staff were abducted from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri. Earlier this month, around 100 of the children were released.
In a statement, authorities confirmed that “the remaining 130 children and staff have been rescued,” noting that “not a single student remains in captivity.”
