Two remaining students of FGC Birnin Yauri regain freedom from bandits
The remaining two abducted students of Federal Government College (FGC), Birnin-Yauri, Kebbi State, have regained freedom.
Chairman of the Committee for the abducted Students, Alhaji Salim Ka’oje, stated this on Thursday in Birnin Kebbi.
He gave the names of the two freed students as Safiya Idris and Farida Ka’oje.
“The two remaining girls were released to us on Thursday by their abductors,” Mr Ka’oje said, adding that they would be taken to the state government.
96 students of the college were abducted by bandits during an attack on the school on June 17, 2021.
Since the abduction, some students have been rescued by the Nigerian Army while many others were reportedly released after the bandits received ransom.
