Dec. 22 (UPI) -- The Nigerian government reunited the last group of children kidnapped last month with their families Monday.
There were 130 children in the final group of children who were kidnapped last month. A gunman kidnapped 215 children and 12 teachers from St. Mary's Catholic School in Papiri in Niger State, which is in the northeastern part of Nigeria. Not long after the kidnapping, 50 kids escaped and another 100 were released on Dec. 7.
Presidential spokesman Sunday Dare confirmed on X on Sunday that the final group had been released.
"Another 130 abducted Niger state pupils released, none left in captivity," he said.
