The Joint Task Force (JTF) of Operation Hadarin Daji in Zamfara State has continued its efforts in the rescue of abducted students, successfully securing the release of seven more female students from the Federal University of Gusau (FUGUS).
This development brings the total number of rescued students to 13, following a recent kidnapping incident reported earlier.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had issued a directive for security agencies to prioritize the rescue of these remaining female students, emphasizing that such heinous crimes against innocent individuals pursuing education cannot be morally justified.
Providing details on the latest rescue operation, Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region, explained that the seven students were freed alongside three male workers of Gupran Engineering Services Ltd.
The names of the freed students are as follows: Rukayya Sani Batola, Merry Monday, Maryam Salawuddeen, Salamatu Jummai Dahiru, Fiddausi Abdulazeez, Amamatullahi Asabe Dahiru, Ketura Bulus, Felicia Sunday, Jamila Ahmad, Aisha Aminu Ujong, Mariya Abdulrahman Usman, Usaina Abdulrahman, Saadatu Aminu Abubakar.
The additional students now join the previously rescued group as efforts continue to ensure the safety and well-being of all affected individuals.
