Nigerian troops rescue seven children and two women abducted from an orphanage in Kogi state

Nigerian troops rescued seven children and two women abducted from an orphanage last month. The victims were taken by gunmen from an illegal Islamic orphanage in Kogi state on April 26. Fifteen other pupils were rescued immediately after the attack. The army recovered the victims in a forest area. No group has claimed responsibility for the abduction, which is a common tactic used by armed groups in Nigeria.
