All the schoolchildren abducted from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri community, Niger State, have now been released, following the freedom of the final group of 130 victims, bringing the total number of rescued pupils to 230.

Officials of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) confirmed the development to newsmen on Sunday.

The successful release brings an end to days of anxiety and uncertainty for families of the victims and marks a significant breakthrough for security agencies involved in the rescue operation.

The pupils were abducted after gunmen attacked the boarding school, an incident that sparked nationwide outrage and renewed concerns over the safety of educational institutions across the country.

Authorities said the release of all the victims was achieved through sustained security pressure and coordinated efforts by relevant agencies. They did not, however, disclose details of the operation.

The incident has intensified calls from stakeholders for enhanced protection of schools and more decisive action to prevent a recurrence of such attacks, as concerns over insecurity continue to dominate public discourse in Nigeria.

My heart goes to their parents.

Mjshexy:
It's so unfair for innocent kids to go through this torture

SeriouslySense:
I dont know if those children were targeted by some powerful people

PDPdestroyer:
If you didn’t make this statement when the news of kidnap just broke, then you are just one big hypocrite, and you should quit the pretense – you’re not happy with their release

SeriouslySense:
I am so happy for their release, it was one of my prayer point. I empathise with them because I see myself in them.

PDPdestroyer:
Then give credit to those who made sure of their release and stop looking for conspiracy theories

SeriouslySense:
I did not look for any conspiracy, it came naturally to me, since we are surrounded by crooks.

What is more important the safety of people lives or singing praises

PDPdestroyer:
You must be a crook yourself to have that line of thought. Does it make sense for a government to bring ridicule to itself with the abduction of those kids, in the first place, “just to appear as working”?
There is more to lose than to gain in such conspiracy.
Only those in opposition stands to benefit from such incident and therefore should be the first suspect if you’re looking for a conspiracy, being objective and not just a hater

seunlayi:
Sincerely speaking....I am sure 80% of genuine parents won't recover fully despite the return of these children.... It's not easy. I pray God will help them all

aariwa:
No single bandit arrested ? … Paying billions by government to bandits for release creates more problems in the society at they will use that money to buy more arms to wage war against innocent Nigerians
