Authorities in Nigeria have reported the release of approximately 130 students and teachers who were kidnapped last month from St. Mary's Catholic School in Niger State. The initial escape of around 50 hostages was followed by the release of about 100 more in early December. While police now state that all hostages have been freed, there are still 35 individuals who remain unaccounted for. The incident has raised ongoing concerns about security and the safety of schools in the region.
