Presidential Aide, Mallam Garba Shehu, has confirmed the release of the kidnapped students of Government Girls’ Technical College, in Dapchi, Yobe State.

He said minutes ago in Abuja that the girls have been found and were being transported to their various homes as at Tuesday morning.

It was learnt that Nigerian Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, today returned 105 girls kidnapped from a high school compound in Dapchi a few weeks ago.

Five of the girls are dead, according to our source, and it is not clear if the Nigerian government paid any ransom to get the girls released.
