From DW News.

After one month in captivity, the last 130 schoolchildren abducted from a Catholic school in Nigeria are free. Nigerian authorities said on Sunday that the pupils of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Niger State should arrive on Monday in the state capital Minna. According to media reports the kids were already released on Friday but transport difficulties delayed their arrival. Most of the children are under age 12. Earlier this month around 100 children from the same school had already been released. In total, 303 children and 12 teachers were abducted on November 21. No group has officially claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
