25:10Now Playing279 female students have been released and have arrived in a government building in Gusau, northwestern Nigeria, a governor said. Armed men abducted 300+ girls from a high school in northern Nigeria’s Zamfara state last week, the latest in a string of abductions that illustrate how badly national security has deteriorated under President Muhammadu Buhari‘s watch.
The gunmen had combed staff quarters and hostels of Jangebe school to choose victims, who they then herded into a forest, local newspaper Daily Trust had earlier reported citing local residents as saying.
This is a gross violation of children’s rights and a horrific experience for them to go through, Peter Hawkins, Unicef representative in Nigeria, said in an emailed statement. It has a long-lasting effect on their mental health and well-being, he said.
It is the fourth mass school abduction since President Buhari was first elected in 2015.
