Nigerians welcome 130 schoolchildren and teachers released after mass abduction
Nigerians on Monday got their first look at 130 children and teachers released after being seized in one of the largest mass abductions in the country's history. Police said they were freed Sunday, a month after gunmen stormed their Catholic school in Niger state’s Papiri community in a predawn attack. Authorities earlier said 303 schoolchildren and 12 teachers were seized and 50 of them escaped in the hours that followed.
