The terrorists who abducted schoolgirls of the Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri, Kebbi State, have released three of the seven remaining students, Daily Trust has reported.
Those released are Elizabeth Ogechi Nwafor, Esther Sunday and Aliya Abubakar.
“It took six days of negotiation in the forest before three of the girls were released to us,” chairman of parents of the Abducted School Girls’ Forum said on Monday.
The chairman of parents of the Abducted School Girls’ Forum, Salim Kaoje told Daily Trust correspondent that the newly released girls arrived Kebbi on Monday afternoon.
“Yes they released three of the school girls to us on Sunday evening. They are already with the State Government,” Kaoje said.
He did not state if any ransom was paid.
It could be recalled that 96 of the Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri, were abducted when the school was attacked on 17, June 2021
Recall that four girls, Bilha Musa, Faiza Ahmed, Rahma Abdullahi and Hafsa Murtala were released by notorious bandit leader, Dogo Gide last month.
Kaoje had said they had paid an undisclosed amount of money to secure the release of the four girls after they sold their properties and a fund raising that saw many Nigerians assist the parents financially.
In January, Kaoje had confirmed that they were in talks with Dogo Gide after they sought intervention through the mother of the bandit.
