| Dozens of Nigerian pupils who were captured by gunmen earlier this month have made their first public appearance since being freed on Sunday. | |
| The children were kidnapped from a school in the north-western town of Kuriga 18 days ago. | |
| Officials have said six of the rescued hostages are still receiving treatment in hospital. | |
| The remaining 131 gathered for a press conference at Kaduna State Government House. | |
| Parents were not allowed to attend and have not yet been reunited with their children. They say the authorities have not informed them about what the next steps are. | |
| Jubril Gwadabe, a community leader in Kuriga whose daughter was kidnapped, told the BBC that he was happy and nervous to see his child in a video captured after the hostages' release. | |
| Mr Gwadabe believes the children will be hosted at a dinner by authorities on Monday night and that they probably won't see their parents until Tuesday. | |
| The government said 137 people were rescued, while the school | |
| authorities earlier said 287 people were missing. | |
| On Monday, officials also confirmed the death of a teacher, simply named as Abubakar, in captivity. | |
