Seven out of the 317 school girls abducted by bandits at Government Girls Science Secondary School, Jangebe have escaped.
A source Jangebe town confirmed to The Nation on Friday evening the girls returned home from their captors.
He said they claimed they maneuvered their way back from the bandits while trekking along the forest.
He said more of the girls have escaped and were being expected having run out of the grip of bandits while trekking in the forests.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has described the latest abduction of hundreds of students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in Zamfara State as inhumane and totally unacceptable.
Buhari, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, warned that “this administration will not succumb to blackmail by bandits who target innocent school students in the expectations of huge ransom payments.”
He also appealed to state governments to review their policy of rewarding bandits with money and vehicles because that policy might boomerang disastrously.
