According to government officials, the victims were freed following sustained and coordinated efforts by security agencies, working with local authorities and community stakeholders. The operation, which involved intelligence gathering and tactical engagement, led to the safe release of all those still in captivity.
The abduction occurred when armed assailants stormed the school and took away pupils and staff, sparking nationwide outrage and concern over the safety of schools, particularly in vulnerable areas. While some of the victims were rescued earlier, 130 remained in captivity until the latest operation.
Authorities confirmed that all the rescued individuals are currently receiving medical attention and psychological support, while arrangements are being made to reunite them with their families. No casualties were reported during the rescue mission.
The Federal Government commended the security forces for their professionalism and resilience, reiterating its commitment to ending attacks on educational institutions and ensuring the safety of students across the country. It also assured Nigerians that efforts are being intensified to track down and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Parents, religious leaders, and residents of the affected community have expressed relief and gratitude following the announcement, describing the rescue as a major boost to confidence in the nation’s security apparatus.
The government further urged citizens to continue supporting security agencies with timely and credible information, stressing that collective effort remains key to tackling insecurity nationwide.
