More than 130 Nigerian schoolchildren rescued after more than two weeks in captivity have arrived in their home state in northwestern Nigeria ahead of their anticipated reunions with families
More than 130 Nigerian schoolchildren rescued after more than two weeks in captivity arrived Monday in their home state in northwestern Nigeria ahead of their anticipated reunions with families, following the latest in a series of mass school abductions in the West African nation. Six of the 137 students remain in hospital, and one staff member who was abducted along with the children died in captivity, military officials said.
School authorities originally had told the state government that a total of 287 students were kidnapped during the attack. However, Kaduna Gov. Uba Sani said only 137 are confirmed to have been seized. “We are here today happily and celebrating the safe return of our children. They will soon be with their family and their parents,” Gov. Sani said. Their parents were not available to receive them and authorities did not allow the schoolchildren to speak to reporters.
