Four female students of the Federal Government College Birnin Yauri in Kebbi state, have regained freedom.
FGC Birnin Yauri was attacked by bandits on June 17, 2021, where dozens of students and teachers were kidnapped from the federal government-owned mixed boarding school.
The four girls identified as Bilha Musa, Faiza Ahmed, Rahma Abdullahi, and Hafsa Murtala were released by notorious bandit leader, Dogo Gide.
The release was confirmed by one of the fathers of the abducted girls, Salim Kajoe.
“It took six days of negations in the forest before four of the girls were released to us. We have seven more still in captivity and two of the parents are still in the forest trying to secure their release.” he said.
He also said his family had to sell their properties and a fundraising from well meaning Nigerians helped them to pay an undisclosed amount of money to secure the release of the four girls.
In January, Kaoje had confirmed that they were in talks with Dogo Gide after they sought intervention through the mother of the bandit.
