Half a hundred individuals abducted from learning institution were able to flee according to the Christian Association - however no fewer than 250 remain unaccounted for.

The primary Catholic cleric in the region has stated that national authorities is undertaking "no meaningful effort" to rescue the unaccounted individuals.
