Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has said repentant
bandits assisted security agencies in the operation that led to the rescue of
Jangebe school girls.
The girls regained freedom on
Tuesday.
The Governor, who received the girls, noted that they were
released without paying any ransom.
He said the agreement to release the girls was reached on
Monday by 4 pm.
“This is the result of our peace effort and putting to shame
all those saying there is no security in this country.
“We are happy that all 279 have safely returned, they will
undergo medical checks and given balanced diets to recupperate by the state
government before they are handed back to their respective families.
“I want to appeal to parents not to remove their children
from school as a result of this, we will ensure additional security in all the
schools.
“We thank all media outlets for their support throughout
these trying times,” the governor added.
Matawalle also congratulated parents of the victims and
Nigerians for the safe return of the girls.
