The 279 abducted Zamfara school girls kidnapped on Friday have been released.
The students arrived Government House, Gusau, at about 4 a.m. on Tuesday.
The hint of a possible release of the school girls soon was given on Sunday by the governor of the state, Bello Matawalle.
He said they were using repentant bandits to effect the rescue of the girls.
The governor made the disclosure while receiving the federal government delegation which was in the state on a sympathy visit over the abduction of the students.
His words: “We are using the leaders of the repentant bandits to rescue the schoolgirls from the kidnappers.
“Very soon we are going to witness the release of the abductees.”
He said his administration “is going to continue with peace process with bandits considering its impacts in addressing security challenges facing the state.”
He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for sending the delegation to symphathise the state over what he described as “ugly act”.
Special prayers were offered for the release of the schoolgirls during the visit.
