The release of the 4 girls was confirmed by Salim Muhammad, leader of a parents committee that has been pressing for more information about their daughters.
For the past three months, he and his committee have been reaching out to well-meaning Nigerians for assistance. As a result of their efforts, they are now able to gather monies that will be used in securing the release of four abducted girls.
He said that the girls have been transported to Kebbi Government House for examination, while they continue negotiating with militants for the release of seven other children. However, he refused to disclose how much money had already been paid as ransom because all thirteen hostages need to be freed before any more details can be released
One of the parents expressed gratitude to Allah for securing their release, saying for the past three months she hadn’t slept, and at a point she couldn’t walk due to lack of sleep and phycological trauma she has been passing through since her daughter was abducted by bandits.
When contacted the Kebbi state police image maker SP Nafiu Abubakar said that they are yet to be notified on the development but promised to get back to us soon.
Recall that about four years ago armed bandits stormed FGC Birnin Yauri and abducted at least one hundred students including a teacher at Yauri.
