The Nigerian military has freed 46 children who were kidnapped by Islamist terrorists from three schools in Orire, Oyo State, Nigeria, after two months. According to a government spokesperson, several terrorists were killed during the rescue operation, while eight were arrested. The attackers had previously shot a civilian during their attack on the schools and later killed a kidnapped teacher. Mass kidnappings, including of schoolchildren, are common in Nigeria, often carried out by jihadist groups like Boko Haram and other armed factions.

The incident echoes the 2014 Chibok kidnapping of 276 girls, where many have since been released or escaped, though around 90 remain missing.
