GermanyNigerian military forces rescued 46 schoolchildren who had been abducted by Islamist militants in the town of Orire, Oyo state. The incident occurred approximately two months prior, and the operation involved coordinated efforts between military, police, and intelligence agencies. President Bola Tinubu stated that no concessions were made to the militants and no ransom was paid, attributing the attack to the Ansaru group, a splinter faction of Boko Haram. During the operation, several militants were killed, and eight were arrested. One teacher was reportedly killed during the initial raid. This follows a pattern of kidnappings for ransom, particularly in northern states like Borno, where over 40 children were recently abducted and remain in captivity. The 2014 Chibok abduction of 276 girls remains one of the most infamous cases in Nigeria's history.
