Nigerian Schoolchildren Are Free

About 100 students are safe now. They were taken from their school last month in Nigeria. Soldiers helped them. They arrived in the city of Minna.

But more students are still missing. Over 150 students and 12 teachers are not free. This is a big problem for Nigeria.

The students were taken from St. Mary’s school. This happened on November 21st. Men with guns took them. Kidnapping is common here. It is like what happened in 2014.

The government helped get the children back. They traveled a long way. Soldiers were with them. How they were freed is secret.

The school leaders were happy. They heard the news from TV. They did not hear from the government first.

Many people were taken. Some ran away. Now, 153 students and 12 staff are still gone. These groups want money.

The free students will see families soon. This is good. But many people are still worried. It is sad when schools are not safe.
