BREAKING: 24 Kebbi Schoolgirls Regain Freedom Following Terrorist Abduction

Twenty-four schoolgirls kidnapped from Government Girls Secondary School in Maga, Kebbi State, have reportedly been rescued, according to security sources who spoke with TheCable on Tuesday.

Details of the operation that led to their recovery are still unclear, but officials are expected to release a formal statement soon.

The abduction, which drew nationwide condemnation, renewed fears about the safety of students in northern Nigeria amid recurring school attacks.

On November 17, terrorists stormed the Maga school in the early hours, abducting an unspecified number of girls and killing a staff member. A school guard was also injured. The gunmen reportedly struck around 5:52 a.m., opening fire as the students prepared for morning activities.

Witness accounts indicated that the attackers seized several girls and triggered widespread panic across the community.
