Insecurity: Zamfara Govt Refutes Rumours Of 310 Schoolgirls’ Release

The Zamfara State Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs, Hon. Abubakar Mohammed Dauran has refuted reports of the release of 310 female students abducted from Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS), Jangebe in Talata Mafara Local Government Area, last Friday.
There had been widespread reports of the release of the girls earlier yesterday after a purported government official made the claims on Channels Television.
However, a media aide to Governor Matawalle, Yusuf Idris, told newsmen that efforts were still ongoing to secure the release of the girls.
Idris said the governor had just concluded a meeting with traditional rulers in the state, towards ensuring the safe return of the students.
The state Commissioner of Police, Abutu Yaro, also confirmed that the girls were yet to be released.
“I want to call the attention of the good people of Zamfara State, they should disregard any fake news regarding the release of the abducted students of GGSS, Jangebe, by one national daily. It’s not true. But, Alhamdulillah, the state government and securities are there trying their best,” he said in a short message he made available to newsmen.
Earlier, unconfirmed reports had indicated that the kidnapped schoolgirls of Government Secondary School in Jangebe, Zamfara State had been released, and were currently in the palace of the Emir of Anka waiting for transportation to Gusau, the state capital.
