Twenty-four students were freed after an armed attack on a boarding school in Nigeria
Nigerian officials say that 24 female students have been freed from armed individuals
These students were abducted last week during an attack by these individuals on a government boarding school in Kebbi State in the northwest
This incident was the first in a wave of recent kidnappings, including last Friday at a Catholic school in Niger State, where reportedly hundreds of students were abducted
It is unclear under what conditions the 24 female students were released, but Nigerian President Bola Tinubu praised the security forces for their efforts to ensure their freedom
In this attack, a staff member and a school security guard were also killed
