Students and staff members of Federal University Gusau, who were abducted by bandits in February, have been freed after spending seven months in captivity.
Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, confirmed the development on Monday via X (formerly Twitter).
The victims were kidnapped during an attack in the Gusau area of Zamfara State earlier this year. However, the details surrounding their release remain unclear, including whether a ransom was paid.
