Catholic religious sisters have appealed to the international community to intervene urgently as 165 schoolchildren abducted from St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in Papiri, Niger State, remain in captivity. The Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles (OLA) revealed that the children, aged between five and 13, were taken during a night raid by armed bandits on November 21, 2025, and are being held in harsh forest conditions. Although 100 victims have been freed and some pupils escaped earlier, the OLA Sisters say families and communities continue to suffer anguish, urging political leaders and global actors to act swiftly to secure the children’s safe return.
