GREAT NEWS! Kidnapped Children in Nigeria Freed!
The group of fifteen kidnapped children in Nigeria that I last posted about were officially freed a few days ago! Police say that no ransom has been paid in the return of the wealthy children, but the victims were rescued from a hideout in the forest of Ogwe-Asa in a joint military operation. The Abia state has also deployed more than 5,000 extra soldiers into the towns center to prevent the kidnappers from escaping. Like I said before, the hostages tend to be released harmed after the kidnappers receive their ransom, luckily none of the children on the school bus have been reported being harmed in any type of way. This is the best news that I think many of us (or at least myself) have heard in a while being that many victims of these harmful crimes in Nigeria end up dead or seriously harmed.

Many many thanks for the good news!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that they were rescued without paying ransom. I could only see the amount of kidnappings escalating with ransoms being paid. Such as in Somalia with the high amount of ransoms for captured ships.
