Bandits have reportedly released the remaining two abducted students of the Federal Government College Birnin Yauri in Kebbi State.

It was gathered that the two girls identified as Faida Sani Kaoje and Safiya Idris, were released by notorious bandit leader, Dogo Gide, on Thursday morning, May 25, 2023, after an intense negotiation between the victims’ parents and the kidnappers.
