LAGOS – Gunmen have released some of the children kidnapped from a school in northern Nigeria back in May, the school’s head teacher said late on Thursday.
Abubakar Garba Alhassan told The Associated Press that the freed students were on their way to the state capital, Minna. He could not confirm the exact number freed.
Authorities said that 136 children were abducted along with several teachers when gunmen on motorcycles attacked the Salihu Tanko Islamic School in Niger state. Other preschoolers were left behind as they could not keep pace when the gunmen hurriedly moved those abducted into the forest.(AP)
