The Catholic Diocese of Kontagora, Niger state, has released the names of 50 students of St. Mary’s School in the Papiri community of Agwara LGA.
On November 21, armed men attacked the school and abducted 315 people, including 303 students and 12 teachers.
Earlier, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Niger state said fifty students abducted from the school have escaped from captivity.
The association noted the pupils regained freedom between Friday and Saturday and “quietly reunited with their families”.
Bulus Dauwa Yohanna, chairman of the Niger state chapter of CAN and Catholic bishop of Kontagora diocese, said the pupils who escaped were unable to return to the school immediately, but were traced after officials contacted and visited some parents.
