Negotiations Lead to Release of Abducted Kebbi Schoolgirls

Fresh details reveal that 24 schoolgirls from a senior secondary school in Maga, Kebbi, were released by Boko Haram after negotiations. The girls were abducted on November 17, with the terrorists killing the vice principal.

Two students escaped initially, leaving 24 held captive until their eventual release. Military rescue attempts failed, prompting authorities to consider negotiations with the terrorist group.

The release followed negotiations with a bandit leader claiming responsibility for the girls' freedom.
