Nigeria confirms release of one hundred students kidnapped
The abduction occurred on Nov. 21, when armed assailants stormed the school, initially taking at least 303 students and staff, according to the Catholic Diocese of Kontagora. Tinubu, joined by Niger State Governor Umar Bago, praised security forces for the successful rescue and called for swift action to free all remaining victims.
He emphasized the need for preventive measures, saying: “Our children should no longer be sitting ducks for heartless terrorists intent on disrupting their education and subjecting them and their parents to unspeakable trauma.” Tinubu assured parents that federal and state authorities are working together to reunite all abducted students.
The kidnappings come amid tensions with the US, as President Donald Trump threatened Nigeria with potential military action over alleged attacks on Christians—claims that Abuja has dismissed as inaccurate.
