The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has secured the release of 100 pupils kidnapped from St. Mary’s Private Catholic Primary and Secondary School, Papiri, in the Agwara Local Government Area of Niger State.
Recall that gunmen attacked the school on November 21, abducting 315 people, including 303 pupils and 12 teachers.
According to reports, 50 pupils escaped within the first 24 hours, but there has been no update since then about the conditions of the schoolchildren.
More details later.
