The Kaduna State Government has announced the release of the 287 school children kidnapped from LEA Primary School in Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area of the State.<\/p>\n

The Governor, Uba Sani disclosed this in the early hours of Sunday, March 24 in a statement made available to Pointblanknews.com<\/p>\n

Governor Uba, however, lauded President Bola Tinubu, and the Nigerian Army for their roles in ensuring the return of the abducted school children.<\/p>\n

According to him, while the school children were in captivity, I spoke with Mr President several times. He shared our pains, comforted us, and worked round the clock with us to ensure the safe return of the children.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement partly reads,\u00a0\u201cI wish to announce that our Kuriga school children have been released.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur special appreciation goes to our dear President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for prioritising the safety and security of Nigerians and particularly ensuring that the abducted Kuriga school children are released unharmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian Army also deserves special commendation for showing that with courage, determination and commitment, criminal elements can be degraded and security restored in our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also thank all Nigerians who prayed fervently for the safe return of the school children. This is indeed a day of joy. We give Almighty Allah all the glory.\u201d<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the students from Kuriga\u2019s Government Secondary School and LEA Primary School were kidnapped on March 7, 2024, and taken into the forest by thugs.<\/p>\n

The kidnappers set a deadline of March 27, 2024, for the ransom payment and demanded N1 billion in exchange for their release.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
