Nigeria confirms release of 100 children

About 100 children abducted from St Mary’s Catholic school in Nigeria last month have been confirmed released, with plans for their reunion with parents starting Monday. The exact circumstances of their release remain unclear, including whether negotiations or ransoms were involved. This incident is part of a disturbing trend of mass abductions targeting schools and places of worship, with recent attacks also reported in other states. Nigerian officials assert that the violence affects all faiths, despite perceptions of targeting Christians.
