BREAKING: All 230 Abducted Niger Catholic School Pupils Released As Final 130 Victims Regain Freedom After Weeks In Captivity
All pupils abducted from St. Mary’s Catholic School in the Papiri community of Niger State have been successfully released, following the rescue of the final batch of 130 victims, Nigerian security authorities have confirmed. The Office of the National Security Adviser disclosed the development on Sunday, describing it as a major breakthrough after weeks of fear, uncertainty, and national outrage. The schoolchildren were kidnapped on November 21, 2025, when armed men stormed the boarding school, triggering widespread concerns over the safety of educational institutions across Nigeria. Officials said the release was achieved through sustained security pressure and coordinated rescue operations. Earlier in December, 100 students and staff members had been freed, while religious authorities lamented the harsh conditions faced by those still in captivity. The school is managed by the OLA Sisters and owned by the Catholic Diocese of Kontagora. The successful rescue has brought relief to families and renewed calls for stronger protection of schools nationwide.
