Kidnapped Kebbi schoolgirls regain freedom

The twenty-four female students recently abducted from the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS) Maga, in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, have reportedly regained their freedom through a non-kinetic approach adopted by the Federal Government.

Reliable Security sources told our correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday in conference that the release of all the kidnapped victims was facilitated through coordinated efforts by officials from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Department of State Services (DSS).

According to the source, ” the use of a non-kinetic approach, which typically involves dialogue, negotiation, and confidence-building measures rather than military force, underscores the government’s shift toward resolving mass abduction crises through peaceful means.

The abduction of the students, which followed similar incidents in the region, had drawn widespread national and international concern and prompted a decisive operational order from the Chief of Army Staff for troops to intensify search-and-rescue efforts.

The source explained that their successful release was a major relief for the affected families and the community.
