The Federal Government of Nigeria has finally secured the release of another 130 schoolchildren kidnapped by gunmen from St. Mary’s Primary and Secondary School, Papiri, Niger State.

A presidential spokesman, Sunday Dare, announced this on his official X handle on Sunday.

“Another 130 abducted Niger state pupils released, none left in captivity,” Dare said in the post on X.

The post was accompanied by a photo of smiling children and a woman.

NewsOrient reports that the released 130 schoolchildren were part of the victims of a single attack where over 300 schoolchildren and their teacher staff members were kidnapped in Niger State by gunmen who stormed a Catholic school in the early hours of November 21.

It was reported that the gunmen, who arrived in large numbers, riding on over 60 motorcycles and accompanied by a van, shot the school’s gatekeeper, leaving him with serious injuries.
