Twenty-four from Nigeria Schoolgirls Liberated More Than Seven Days Post Capture

A total of 24 Nigerian female students captured from their educational institution over a week ago are now free, government officials announced.

Gunmen invaded a learning facility situated within Kebbi State recently, killing one staff member while capturing 25 students.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu commended security forces for their "quick action" post-occurrence - while specific details regarding their liberation were not specified.

Through an announcement, a special adviser to the president verified that each young woman taken from educational facility located in the area had returned safely, mentioning that the incident sparked imitation captures within additional regional provinces.

National leadership said that extra staff would be deployed to "vulnerable areas to avert additional occurrences related to captures".

Via additional communication on X, Tinubu stated: "The Air Force will continue continuous surveillance over the most remote areas, aligning missions with ground units to properly detect, isolate, disrupt, and neutralise all hostile elements."

Exceeding fifteen hundred students have been abducted from educational institutions since 2014, during which multiple young women were taken hostage amid the well-known large-scale kidnapping.

Recently, no fewer than 300 children and staff got captured at St Mary's School, religious educational establishment, in Nigeria's regional territory.

Several dozen people abducted from the school managed to get away as reported by religious organizations - but at least two hundred fifty are still missing.

The main religious leader across the territory has mentioned that Nigeria's government is performing "little substantial action" to recover captured persons.

The abduction at the institution was the third to hit Nigeria over recent days, forcing national leadership to call off travel plans international conference organized within the southern nation recently to address the crisis.

International education official the diplomat requested world leaders to make maximum effort" to help measures to recover captured students.

The envoy, a former UK prime minister, said: "The duty falls upon us to guarantee that Nigerian schools provide protected areas for education, instead of locations where youths might get taken from educational settings through unlawful means."
