This latest effort brings the total number of students freed so far to 20, leaving four still unaccounted for.

The rescue operation escalated into a fierce gunfight, resulting in the kidnappers, overwhelmed by the superior firepower of security forces, abandoning their captives and fleeing with severe injuries.

Initially, nine students were liberated, followed by five more the next morning, before the latest successful rescue of six more students.

“The families of the six students just rescued have confirmed that the students have arrived home,” said Kingsley Femi Fanwo, the Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, providing reassurance to the public about the safety of the freed students.

In light of recent events, Commissioner Fanwo emphasised the state government’s commitment to school safety.
