The Federal Government has facilitated the rescue of 100 pupils kidnapped from St. Mary’s Private Catholic Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, located in Agwara Local Government Area of Niger State.
Federal officials had not issued a formal confirmation at the time of filing this report.
The abduction occurred on November 21 when armed men stormed the isolated community around 2 am, arriving on motorbikes and operating unchecked for nearly three hours.
A total of 315 individuals were taken—303 students and 12 teachers.
According to earlier updates, around 50 pupils escaped within the first day and were reunited with their families, leaving 265 victims still held by the attackers.
