Nigeria rescues 100 abducted students
(VOVWORLD) - Nigerian authorities have secured the release of 100 kidnapped schoolchildren taken by gunmen at a Catholic school last month, a UN source and local media said Sunday, though the fate of another 165 students and staff thought to remain in captivity remains unclear.
In November, 315 students and staff were kidnapped from St. Mary's co-educational boarding school in north-central Niger state. 50 escaped shortly afterward, leaving 265 thought to be in captivity.
