BREAKING: All Abducted Schoolchildren from St. Mary's Catholic School in Niger State Released

The final group of 115 students abducted from St. Mary's Catholic Private Primary and Secondary School in Papiri community, Agwara Local Government Area of Niger State, have been freed, bringing the total number of rescued children to approximately 265.

Officials have confirmed the development, marking the end of a month-long ordeal that began with a deadly attack by armed gunmen on November 21, 2025. The bandits stormed the boarding school in the early hours, abducting 303 students and 12 teachers in one of the largest mass kidnappings in recent Nigerian history.

Earlier, 50 students managed to escape shortly after the abduction, while 100 others were released on December 8 following intensive security operations. The latest release of the remaining 115 students ends days of anguish for families and represents a significant success for security agencies involved in the rescue efforts.

Thank God they all came back alive and well.

They brought them out from where they kept them, thank God. May God visit all involved.

You mean it is the work of the opposition?

Released? Not rescued? Ribadu had earlier told us they were doing fine. I guess he's right. Can they now quickly go and secure the release of the ECWA Church abductees? Is this how we will continue to rinse and repeat? Negotiating with terrorists will not work, it has never worked anywhere in the world.

How many billions of naira did FG pay as ransom to the terrorists?

Released, not rescued by security agencies. If they were rescued, the terrorists that held them hostage would have been killed.

I am wondering the number of terrorists that was able to kidnap more than 300 students and no police/army checkpoints was able to intervene.

Sick country, more kidnapping as schools are resuming in January

How much ransom.was paid?

Good news. However, we need to know the conditions for their release

Nigeria we hail thee
Which kind country is this?

They brought them out from where they kept them, thank God. May God visit all involved.

Brought them.out of where? You this boy again?

Ok oo

Congratulations.

Freedom at last.

What about the culprits?

The "bandits" have been settled. After 2 months they'll kidnap another batch from another school and millions will be paid to them, and the cycle will continue, and some incredibly daft bastards will tell me this government is doing well

Obidients will be very sad with this news. This definitely won’t be a merry Christmas for them, chai!!!
If only Jonathan had been this dedicated to his job, probably the Chibok girls’ fate would have been different

Alhamdulilah 🙏🙏

At least the governor will reopen school by January

shame suppose dey catch u. your useless government is so timid, bandits can do anything they want, get paid in millions, and nothing will happen to the bandits.

If Jonathan was an ineffectual buffoon, I wonder what you'll call this bulaba government

The APC terrorist organization simply returned them to where they were taken from, and it is obvious that some APC members became richer.

It shall never be well with those who worked, supported, and imposed upon this nation a wicked, draconian, and terrorist regime.

I just hope that those desert iguanas didn't dare touch those beuriful souls.

Very unconscionable mutants.

How they turned their so-called jihad into a war to capture underaged gals is alarmingly nonplussing..

Thank God for the release of these innocent children.
However, beyond the celebration, what became of the abductors and what concrete steps are being taken to stop such horrors from recurring?.

story story story they knows that we can not do anything any idiot can come from useless country to say anything and we are only dancing and doing content on Facebook useless generation

This cycle of Abduction and Release without arresting the abductors, paints a picture of a business transaction.

Congratulations to all the partners - FG, Bandits, School Mgt, Niger State and Parents.
Let's wait for another deal!
After all NSA told us that the students are doing well in captivity.

Nobody was arrested at all.

And this is happening today again….. Bandits on Saturday night attacked Fananawa village in Bukuyum Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing one person and kidnapping several others

What a disgraced country

Show your evidence that TINUBU paid the bandits/kidnappers a dime.
Cho cho cho cho cho and you no get proof.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

.....and what happened to the abductors?

Dorime Don confirm for this set of kidnappers. Other kidnappers will be planning their own.

So what happened to the bandits?
No arrest for their crime?

Tinubu supporters will identify and list their release as an achievement under his tenure as President

This cycle of Abduction and Release without arresting the abductors, paints a picture of a business transaction.…..😂😂😂😂😂
