The government of Nigeria has secured the release of the 100 schoolchildren who were abducted last month, according to local media.
The children were taken from St. Mary’s School in Niger state in late November. The release was announced by local broadcaster Channels Television on Sunday.
The news comes as Christians continue to face persecution in Nigeria, which has led President Donald Trump to declare the West African nation a “country of particular concern.”
