Nigeria's government has reportedly secured the release of 100 schoolchildren who were abducted last month in Niger state, according to local media. The mass kidnapping at St. Mary's Catholic boarding school saw over 300 children and staff taken by gunmen, with only a few managing to escape in the immediate aftermath. While the news of the release has circulated, church leaders and state officials say they have not yet received formal notification and remain hopeful for confirmation. The incident has drawn renewed attention to ongoing security challenges in Nigeria, as authorities and families await further updates on the remaining missing children and staff.
