Parents in southwestern Nigeria relieved after kidnapped children return

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

Parents of students abducted from a school in Nigeria's southwestern Oyo State expressed relief and gratitude after their children were rescued following nearly two months in captivity.

The abductions in a southern state had represented an escalation of the country’s security crisis because most such abductions previously had taken place in the north.

The pupils and their teachers remain at a military hospital in Ibadan, the state capital, where they are undergoing medical assessments and receiving care.
