Over 300 kidnapped from Nigerian school, 50 escape | ABC NEWS

Описание: Fifty of more than 300 students kidnapped on Friday from a Catholic School in Nigeria have been able to escape their captors, the Catholic church says.

However, more than 250 students and 12 staff members are still being held in what is one of the country's worst mass kidnappings.

Nigeria is under heightened scrutiny for its failure to prevent attacks against Christians in the country, after US President Donald Trump threatened military action over the issue in November.
