Twelve days after gunmen whisked them away from the institution, the abducted students of the College Of Agriculture and Animal Science Bakura, Zamfara State, have been released from captivity.
According to Governor Bello Matawalle, the students were released on Friday through the help of some repentant bandits.
“Today, based on our dialogue and reconciliation, we used the repentant bandits to secure the release of these students,” he said.
“They have worked hard for almost 10 days. They are out day and night to make sure that they convinced those criminals to release those students and their teachers, today they are in our midst”.
The students were brought to the Government House in Gusau in a bus amid heavy security and were received by the governor and top officials of the state.
