PRESIDENT BUHARI TO MEET WITH FREED SCHOOL BOYS
President Muhammadu Buhari will on Friday meet with the released students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, in Katsina State.
Bashir Ahmad, President Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media, made this announcement on his official Twitter handle.
He tweeted; “President Buhari will receive the rescued students of the Government Science Secondary School (GSSS), Kankara later this afternoon in Katsina.”
The 344 school children who were kidnapped from their school by bandits were released on Thursday afternoon but spent hours navigating the unmotorable road out of the forest.
The children were made to spend the night under heavy military protection in Tsafe local government area of Zamfara state on Thursday as they were weak and tired after spending 6 nights with little food in captivity.
Some of the children could be seen limping on Friday while walking into the Katsina State Government house.

The release of the school children was midwived by Government officials led by Governor Aminu Masari and the Department of State Security (DSS).
The Nigeria military in collaboration with local vigilantes worked tirelessly to ensure the bandits could not leave the perimeter or trade the boys with Boko Haram's Shekau who wanted to use the boys to push his terrorist propaganda.
