More than 300 schoolboys who were kidnapped in northern Nigeria last week have been handed over to government security forces, Katsina state Governor Aminu Bello Masari told public broadcaster NTA on Thursday.
Masari said most, if not all, the boys had been released, and that they would be medically examined and reunited with their families on Friday.
Bashir Ahmaad, a personal assistant to Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, tweeted that the “abducted students of the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara have been rescued, the Katsina State Government has confirmed the news.”
