Atiku's Aide Questions Release of Abducted Niger Schoolchildren Amid Doubts

Atiku Abubakar's media aide, Paul Ibe, raised doubts about the authenticity of the release of over 130 abducted pupils from St. Mary's Catholic School in Papiri, Niger State, questioning the government's handling of the situation.

The children were kidnapped by armed men on motorcycles and taken to a forest before being gradually released. Governor Moham Bago confirmed the pupils' release, alongside Rev.

Bulu Yohanna. The aide criticized the manner in which the release was announced, hinting at a possible orchestrated scenario.
