The girls from Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary, Ikorodu were rescued this morning at Igbo Okuta, Ikorodu, by a combined team of security forces.

Steve Ayorinde, the commissioner for information confirmed the rescue of the girls in a tweet this morning:

“The three abducted school girls in Ikorodu have been rescued by the Police. Lagos is working. Gov Ambode salutes the courage of the Police”, he said.

It was not clear whether ransom was paid.

I don't understand

Good news, I have sisters too and I just hope they were returned they way they were taken- Nigeria is a forbidden country and you don't want to imagine what could have happenned to those girls in the past six days.

Also, believe the police to your own loss - the same police that claimed that no life was lost during the Hausa/Yoruba clash in Mile 12 is now claiming to have rescued the girls.

And, what is the relationship between the gele lady and the girls? Just curious.

Awww. Thank God for this news! I just pray and hope that the girls where not raped!

We thank God for the good news.

The prompt intervention of the police and the public wound-up by the alacrity of the social media age, is bringing the menace of kidnapping and ritual killings to a stale.

Good one Nigerians. One Nation, One people.
