The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) says the abducted Kuriga schoolchildren were rescued through a coordinated search and rescue operation conducted by the military in collaboration with local authorities and government agencies.

The primary and secondary school students abducted on March 7, were rescued in the early hours of Sunday.

The Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

He said a total of 137 persons comprising 76 females and 61 males were rescued in Zamfara.

According to him, they would be conveyed and handed over to the Kaduna State Government for further action.

“Relatedly, it would be recalled that on March 21, troops equally rescued 16 pupils (Almajiris) with a woman taken hostage in Gada Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

“These hostages were handed over to the Sokoto State Government.

“These efforts demonstrate the armed forces’ resolve to find other innocent hostages and track down the terrorists that perpetrated these crimes.

“These efforts would continue until other hostages are found and the terrorists arrested, tried, and brought to justice by Nigerian law.

“Troops are employing similar efforts to track down the culprits responsible for the killing of 18 soldiers in Okuama Community in Delta State.

“Justice awaits the culprits, as they can not go unpunished,” he said.

Liars.

Northerners are busy romancing the Bandits with huge ransom.


If u check well a huge ransom was paid for their release forget what the Governor is telling you if you know APC very well they operates on obvious propaganda to promote themselves.

owo, kudi, ego

if u knw u knw!

Good development

Wheeew thank God at least one good news from Nigeria ...

money don pass hands


Thank God they were all saved

But how can such a over 100 hundred children be kidnapped and no alarm will be raised whiletheoperationis goingon??Is it that people living in the neighbourhood's are bribed not to talk or what?
It's all looking arranged oo

How would you say 'Rescued' and no one was killed or captured?

Obi dey learn where FG dey Lamba

Heavy ransom was paid. thank God for their release

Okay. Good work from the NA.

What happened to the terrorists though?

It's very difficult to believe that they handed over the kidnapped children without any resistance.

Some honesty will restore a bit of confidence from the populace.

The way we talk about abduction of school children in Nigeria is really disturbing. Things considered high level crime in sane countries is seen as norm in Nigeria. I hope they were really kidnapped though..

I'm genuinely surprised the military could rescue abductees from bandits without "gallantly engaging them in a gun duel, killing two while the rest escaped with gunshot wounds and varying degrees of injuries with efforts being made to arrest the fleeing suspects."

It seems whoever wrote this script is either ignorant of the language of military reportage or is aware this didn't happen in the SE.

No pics of three AK-47s with a trailer load of pump-action bullets

Army done fall my hand big time.

All is well,

How much is randon?

We are getting there

Governor said they were rescued through the galant effort of our soldiers.

137 students cannot be kidnapped in the east and still be resident in that east till they're released... Impossible!!!

The earlier northern leaders and northerners in general stopped fooling themselves on these stories then they'll all receive sense.

Meanwhile, they should continue dolling out millions to herders in the bush

pls let me ask you.

how were these children "rescued" without any of their captives being killed or captured?

how was it possible for 137 human beings to be kidnapped with motorcycles in broad daylight and there was no security personnel that noticed or saw them despite the fact that banditry is rampant in Zamfara state?

Did I hear rescued? Instead they should come clean on how much they paid to the bandits.

Anyways, truth can't hide for long.

I just dey imagine how that vehicle go dey stink with all those people inside.




Mynd44 no go anywhere near northern states o

Thank God.

I repeat kidnapper or bandit you catch instant execution that is it.
