The abduction happened on May 15. Armed men targeted several schools in the Oriire district of Oyo state. This incident led to a large-scale search and rescue effort.
A presidential spokesperson confirmed the rescue on Friday. The exact date of the rescue operation has not been specified. Further details regarding the circumstances of the rescue are expected.
The students and teachers have been reunited with their families. The government has stated its commitment to ensuring the safety of all citizens. Police are continuing investigations into the perpetrators.
