The 25 schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls’ Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State have regained their freedom.
Reliable government and security sources confirmed the development on Tuesday.
Sources told DAILY POST that the girls were rescued earlier today and are being transported to the Government House in Birnin Kebbi for medical examination and debriefing.
“The girls have been freed. They are on their way to the State House,” a senior official said.
Although the rescue has been confirmed, details of how the schoolgirls were freed had not been made available as at the time of filing this report.
Security sources, however, said the breakthrough followed intensified joint operations involving the military, police, vigilantes, and intelligence teams across forest routes in the area.
The students were abducted on Monday, November 17, when gunmen invaded their boarding school in Maga.
