Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has corrected reports regarding the number of school children abducted in Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area of the state, stating that only 137 children were abducted, not 287 as previously reported.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics program, Sani clarified that all the abducted school children have been successfully rescued by a joint effort of the military and local authorities from Zamfara State. The abduction occurred at LEA Primary School and Government Secondary School in Kuriga approximately four weeks ago.

Contrary to initial reports indicating 287 abducted children, the Defence Headquarters confirmed that a total of 137 students were rescued from the bandits on March 6.

Governor Sani extended condolences to the family of the deceased teacher and offered support and comfort to the families of the rescued schoolchildren.
