Boko Haram freed the more than 300 children it had kidnapped in Nigeria

Finally, the jihadist group Bono Haram released the more than 300 children it had held hostage for a week in the state of Katsina in northwestern Nigeria.

The children, who were abducted from a school in the town of Kankara, were transferred this Friday from Zamfara and were received by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and State Governor Aminu Masari, according to the Nigerian newspaper ‘The Premium Times’.

The news was of the release of all the children was confirmed by the deputy director of the school to which they belonged, Yahay Salauwa, adding that all are in good health, although many were seen barefoot.

Masari stressed that “released students will be carefully reunited with their parents once state authorities, in collaboration with local officials, confirm that those who show up (to pick them up) are their real parents.”

Thus, it has affected that “the released children will have to identify their relationships (with the people who come to pick them up) before any delivery. I am more affected by the kidnappings than any other parent, because the parents cried for a missing child and I I did it for 344 missing children ”.
