After being held captive for 707 days, the two remaining abducted students from the Federal Government College in Birnin Yauri, Kebbi State, have been released.

It may be recalled that on June 17, 2021, bandits broke into the school and abducted 11 students.According to reports, four of the females were pregnant, and some of the girls had given birth as teenagers.

According to reports, the two female students Faida Sani Kaoje and Safiya Idris were freed on Thursday morning.

This follows rounds of negotiations between the bandit leaders and a committee made up of their families.

Following the abduction, a bandit kingpin gave conditions for the release of the students. Four female students with two babies were later released in April this year after allegedly paying a huge ransom.
Three other girls, Elizabeth Ogechi Nwafor, Esther Sunday and Aliya Abubakar were later released by the bandits on May 7.
The committee of parents had disclosed while soliciting for support that the bandits demanded a sum of N100 million.
An undisclosed amount of money, it was alleged, was paid as ransom after getting support elsewhere due to the failure of the Kebbi State government to meet the demand of the bandits.
