A total of twenty-four West African female students who were abducted from the boarding school more than seven days back have been released, national leadership confirmed.

In a statement, an appointed consultant of the administration confirmed that each young woman abducted from the school in Kebbi State were now safe, mentioning that this event sparked imitation captures across further Nigerian states.
Tinubu announced that extra staff will be assigned towards high-risk zones to avert additional occurrences of kidnapping".
In a separate post using digital platforms, Tinubu commented: "Military aviation will continue constant observation across distant regions, synchronising operations alongside land forces to properly detect, separate, interfere with, and neutralise every threatening factor."
More than fifteen hundred students have been abducted within learning facilities since 2014, during which multiple young women were taken hostage amid the notorious major capture incident.
Days ago, no fewer than 300 children and staff were abducted from an educational institution, religious educational establishment, situated in Niger state.
Fifty of those captured at educational facility were able to flee according to the Christian Association - but at least 250 remain unaccounted for.
The leading religious leader in the region has stated that Nigeria's government is undertaking "no meaningful effort" to rescue captured persons.
This kidnapping at the school was the third impacting the country in a week, pressuring President Bola Tinubu to call off his trip to the G20 summit held in the African country days ago to deal with the emergency.
United Nations representative Gordon Brown called on global organizations to make maximum effort" to assist initiatives to recover kidnapped youths.
The envoy, previous head of government, stated: "We also have responsibility to guarantee that educational institutions provide protected areas for learning, rather than places in which students could be removed from learning environments for criminal profit."
