Government officials had been in talks with the kidnappers following Nigeria’s third school attack in less than three months
All 279 Nigerian students kidnapped from their boarding school in the northern state of Zamfara have been released and are on government premises, the governor of the state has said.
“I am happy to announce that the girls are free,” Dr Bello Matawalle told AFP. “They have just arrived in the government house and are in good health.” An AFP reporter saw hundreds of girls wearing hijabs, gathered at the government premises.
