The 279 abducted Zamfara school girls have been released, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

“The students arrived Government House, Gusau, at about 4am on Tuesday,” according to a NAN news flash early this Tuesday morning, March 2, 2021.
The school girls, whose number have usually been put at 317, had been reported to be released on Sunday but negotiations with bandits ran into a hitch at the last minute.
