Sunday, March 24, 2024 - The Kaduna State Government has announced the release of the 287 schoolchildren kidnapped from Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State.
This was contained in a statement signed by

announce that our Kuriga school children have been released.
“Our special appreciation goes to our dear
President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for prioritising the safety and security of
Nigerians and particularly ensuring that the abducted Kuriga school children
are released unharmed. While the school children were in captivity, I spoke
with Mr. President several times. He shared our pains, comforted us, and worked
round the clock with us to ensure the safe return of the children.”
The governor also appreciated the courage of the officers of
the Nigerian Army for seeing to the successful release of the schoolchildren.
He said, “The Nigerian Army also deserves
special commendation for showing that with courage, determination and
commitment, criminal elements can be degraded and security restored in our
communities.
“We also thank all Nigerians who prayed
fervently for the safe return of the school children. This is indeed a day of
joy. We give Almighty Allah all the glory.”
On March 7, 2024, the schoolchildren from
LEA Primary School and Government Secondary School, Kuriga, were abducted by
the hoodlums who took them into the forest.
