Kidnapped Kebbi schoolgirls regain freedom

From Molly Kilete, Abuja

The female students abducted from the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS) Maga, in the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, have regained their freedom through a non-kinetic approach adopted by the Federal Government.

A report by PRNigeria indicates that the release of all the kidnapped victims was facilitated through coordinated efforts by officials from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Department of State Services (DSS).

The use of a non-kinetic approach, which typically involves dialogue, negotiation, and confidence-building measures rather than military force, underscores the government’s shift toward resolving mass abduction crises through peaceful means.

The abduction of the students, which followed similar incidents in the region, had drawn widespread national concern and prompted a decisive operational order from the Chief of Army Staff for troops to intensify search-and-rescue efforts. Their successful release is a major relief for the affected families and the community.
