Eight kidnapped female students of Government Secondary School, Awon, Kaduna State have escaped from the terrorists’ den.

They were kidnapped by terrorists on April 3rd this year in the Awon area of Kachia Local Government Area.

The students reportedly escaped from the forest around the Kaduna – Niger interstate boundaries, and walked for days before arriving at a location where they were harboured.

Intelligence sources subsequently alerted the Kaduna State Government for their immediate evacuation, according to a statement by Samuel Aruwan,

Commissioner for Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs.

He said the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai after receiving the intelligence directed the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs to liaise with the 1 Division Nigerian Army for urgent evacuation of the students to Kaduna metropolis.

“It was credibly gathered that the terrorists were combing forests in the area to recapture the students.

“The students have been safely evacuated to a military facility where they are presently receiving medical attention,” the commissioner said.

Meanwhile, Governor El-Rufai has expressed his delight over the development and praised the students for demonstrating sheer courage and resilience in making their escape from captivity.

The governor urged them to view the horrific experience as a turning point, and pursue their education with renewed vigour for a purposeful future.

The governor also commended the General Officer Commanding, 1 Division, Major Gen OT Akinjobi, for the prompt evacuation and the ongoing medicals being conducted on the students.
