– Abductors were Bandits not Boko Haram

Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State has revealed no ransom was paid to secure the release of the over 300 abducted students.

This was disclosed in an interview with a German radio, Deutsche Welle, DW, Thursday night.

The Governor said the release of the students was facilitated by the Miyyeti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, who engaged in talks with the bandits and government noting that no single kobo was paid as ransom.

He said the abductors were bandits and not purported Boko Haram.

According to him, “Some hours ago, those assisting us in talks with the bandits said they have released all children in captivity. About 344 of them. And we have sent vehicles to transport them to Katsina.

“We will direct our doctors to carry out medical examination on the children tomorrow morning. They have spent six-day in the forest.

“We will change their clothes and we will hand them over to their parents,” Masari said.

Recall that the boarding students (all boys) were last Friday night kidnapped by bandits who attacked their school and released on Thursday after spending six nights in the kidnappers den.
