About 100 children who were abducted from a Catholic school in central Nigeria last month have been freed.
They arrived in the Niger state capital, Minna, in a fleet of minibuses escorted by military vans and armored vehicles, and were received by Governor Umar Bago.
Details about their release remain unclear, including whether it was secured through negotiation or by force, and whether any ransoms were paid. Last month, more than 250 students and 12 staff were kidnapped from St Mary’s Catholic school in Papiri, the latest in a wave of mass abductions. END
