30 FGC Yauri students and one teacher from the Federal Government College Birnin Yauri in Kebbi State have been released after being held captive for seven months.
This comes approximately four months after another 30 students were released.
When bandits stormed the school on June 19, 2021, they abducted at least 102 students and eight teachers, killing two cops and one student.
