Twenty-four schoolgirls who were abducted from a school in Kebbi state's Maga town last week have been rescued, according to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. The girls were among 25 taken by assailants on November 17, but one escaped the same day. The remaining 24 were saved without disclosing details of the rescue. The attack was part of a recent spate of mass abductions in Nigeria, including a raid on St Mary's school in Niger state where over 300 students and staff were taken. Authorities have confirmed that the rescued girls are being held by authorities, but their condition is not yet known. No group has claimed responsibility for the abductions, which analysts attribute to gangs of bandits targeting schools and remote communities.
