On Friday, at least three hundred students and employees were taken from St Mary's School, faith-based academy, situated in regional territory.

Fifty of those captured at the school have since escaped based on information from religious organizations - however no fewer than numerous individuals haven't been located.

The main religious leader across the territory has stated that the administration is making "no meaningful effort" to save captured persons.

The envoy, ex-British leader, commented: "We also have responsibility to guarantee that learning facilities remain secure environments for studying, not spaces where youths can be plucked from educational settings through unlawful means."
