A group of twenty-four Nigerian female students captured from a learning facility more than seven days back have been released, government officials stated.

The president stated that additional forces would be deployed towards high-risk zones to stop further incidents of kidnapping".

Via additional communication on X, Tinubu wrote: "Military aviation is to maintain constant observation over the most remote areas, aligning missions alongside land forces to properly detect, isolate, interfere with, and neutralise every threatening factor."

Days ago, a minimum of three hundred students and employees got captured at an educational institution, a Catholic boarding school, situated in local province.

Half a hundred individuals captured at learning institution managed to get away as reported by the Christian Association - but at least two hundred fifty are still missing.

The main church official in the region has stated that Nigeria's government is undertaking "no meaningful effort" to save those still missing.

The capture incident at the school was the third impacting the country in a week, pressuring President Bola Tinubu to call off his trip international conference organized within the southern nation recently to manage the emergency.

UN education envoy the diplomat urged world leaders to make maximum effort" to assist initiatives to bring back the abducted children.

The representative, a former UK prime minister, said: "We also have responsibility to ensure that Nigerian schools are safe spaces for studying, not spaces where children can be plucked from their classroom for illegal gain."
