Dozens of students who were kidnapped by bandits from a school in Nigeria earlier this month have been reunited with their families, the region’s governor announced.
Zamfara State Gov. Bello Matawalle said in a statement on Monday that nearly 70 students were rescued with the aid of some bandits who sincerely regretted their wrongdoing, The Associated Press reported. The pupils were returned to their families late on Sept. 12.
