Recently, a minimum of 300 children and staff were abducted from a learning facility, a Catholic boarding school, located within Niger state.

Fifty of those captured at learning institution were able to flee based on information from the Christian Association - but at least numerous individuals haven't been located.

The primary Catholic cleric within the area has stated that Nigeria's government is undertaking "insufficient measures" to rescue captured persons.
