The twenty-five schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, have regained their freedom after a successful rescue operation. Security sources confirmed the development to journalists on Tuesday.
According to the sources, the rescue was made possible through coordinated efforts by security operatives who had been trailing the abductors since the incident occurred. Though details of the operation remain sketchy, authorities said the girls were recovered safely and are currently in the care of security agencies.
The rescued students are expected to undergo medical checks and debriefing before being reunited with their families.
Their abduction had sparked widespread concern and calls for swift government action to ensure their safe return. The rescue has now brought relief to the affected community and renewed confidence in ongoing efforts to curb banditry and protect schools in the region.
More information is expected as security agencies provide updates on the operation and the condition of the schoolgirls.
