75 Abducted Children Released In Zamfara

75 CHILDREN who were kidnapped from their school in Zamfara State have been released after their abductors came under pressure from a military crackdown.

The students were abducted by unknown gunnen from their school on the 1st of September in Kaya village.

Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawale, who recieved the abducted children at his headquarters, noted that over 1,100 children have been kidnapped since December last year in Nigeria.

Regardless of popular assumptions, the Governor has revealed that no ransom was paid for the 75 children.

Zamfara has been one of the worst-hit States in the current abduction crisis, and reportedly, security authorities have shut the state’s internet, to enable them clamp down on abductors and terrorists in the state.
