Nigerian army rescues students kidnapped two weeks ago

Seventeen students and a woman freed after operation in north-west of country

Nigeria’s army has rescued 17 students and a woman who were kidnapped in a dawn raid by armed men two weeks ago in north-west Sokoto state, the state governor said.

The attack at Tsangaya school on 9 March came two days after the mass abduction of schoolchildren in Kaduna, also in the north. Those students are still missing.

The Sokoto governor, Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto, said the Tsangaya students were freed on Friday after an operation coordinated by the army and the office of the national security adviser.

“All the children have been found healthy and are ready to be reunited with their parents,” he said, without giving details of the rescue operation.

No person is going to be “healthy” after a few weeks held prisoner by literal kidnappers.

I think it’s pretty clear that they mean in good physical health, which is a relief. Obviously this is going to be traumatic, but publicly speculating on these childen’s mental health isn’t appropriate.

Israel should take note: the Nigerians did it without bombing the crap out of them.

I guess shit matters when you’re not led by a genocidal maniac.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Nigeria’s army has rescued 17 students and a woman who were kidnapped in a dawn raid by armed men two weeks ago in north-west Sokoto state, the state governor said.

The attack at Tsangaya school on 9 March came two days after the mass abduction of schoolchildren in Kaduna, also in the north.

The Sokoto governor, Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto, said the Tsangaya students were freed on Friday after an operation coordinated by the army and the office of the national security adviser.

“All the children have been found healthy and are ready to be reunited with their parents,” he said, without giving details of the rescue operation.

The school owner, Liman Abubakar Bakuso, said he was travelling to Sokoto capital to bring back the students.

Kidnappings by criminal gangs with no ideological affiliation and demanding ransoms have become an almost daily occurrence, especially in northern Nigeria, tearing apart families and communities who have to pool savings to pay ransoms, often forcing them to sell land, cattle and grain to secure their loved ones’ release.
