The 24 school girls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga, in Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, have been rescued.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed this in a statement issued last night.
He said the President commended the security agencies for their efforts in securing the freedom of the victims and called on them to intensify operations to rescue those still in captivity.
“I am relieved that all the 24 girls have been accounted for. Now, we must urgently deploy more boots on the ground in vulnerable areas to prevent further kidnappings. My government will provide all necessary support to achieve this,” the statement quoted the President as saying.
It would be recall that bandits stormed the school hostel last Monday, abducting 24 female students.
