After being in captivity since June 2021, three girls from Federal Government College, Yauri, Kebbi State were released by their kidnapper, Dogo Gide.
According to Salim Kaoje, the chairman of the parents of the abducted children, the girls that were released were; Aliya Abubakar, Esther Sunday, and Elizabeth Nwafor. The pupils have been taken to the Kebbi State Government House.
It will be recalled that two weeks ago, four pupils out of the 11 that were abducted, was released when the kidnappers were paid N80 million.
Mr Kaoje, whose younger sister, Farida Kaoje, is still being held by the terrorists, said Mr Gide did not request additional ransom before releasing the latest batch of pupils.
In 2021, Gide and his gang originally abducted more than 100 pupils and some of their teachers.
While many of the girls escaped in the days that followed the abduction, others were released after ransoms were allegedly paid to Mr Gide’s gang and allegedly in exchange for some of Mr Gide’s fighters who were arrested by the authorities.
However, the terrorists held on to 11 of the girls.
Parents said they sold their properties plus donations they received from other Nigerians to raise the ransoms paid to Mr Gide and his gang.
There are four pupils left with Gide out of the 100 students kidnapped since 2021.
