Over numerous youths were taken hostage from educational institutions over the past decade, back when 276 girls got captured in the infamous large-scale kidnapping.

The primary Catholic cleric across the territory has mentioned that the administration is performing "little substantial action" to save captured persons.

The capture incident at the institution was the third impacting the country over recent days, compelling the administration to call off journey to the G20 summit taking place in the southern nation days ago to address the situation.

International education official the official called on global organizations to make maximum effort" to assist initiatives to recover kidnapped youths.

The representative, a former UK prime minister, said: "It's also incumbent on us to guarantee that learning facilities remain secure environments for studying, instead of locations where youths can be plucked from their classroom for criminal profit."
