The rescued 137 students of Kuriga school in Kaduna State have arrived Government House amid tight security to meet the State governor, Uba Sani, on Monday afternoon.
The school children arrived the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House at about 2:09pm in three Coaster and two mini buses from 1 Division Nigerian Army Headquarters in Kaduna.
Recall that the schoolchildren were abducted on March 7, 2024, at an LEA and Junior Secondary School in Kuriga village, Chikun local government area of the State and were eventually rescued by troops on Sunday morning in an unknown location in Zamfara State where the bandits had held them for 18 days.
Parents of the students and leaders of Kuriga community had earlier trooped to the Government House on Sunday when the news broke out that the abducted children had been freed and were on their way to be reunited with their families. But they were later told to return on Monday to collect their children.
