This was disclosed by Governor Uba Sani in the early hours of Sunday.
Recall that bandits terrorizing the state had invaded LEA Primary School Kuriga and Junior Secondary School, Kuriga town, in Chikun Local Government Area of the state on March 7 and whisked away 287 students, including a principal, Abubakar Isah to an unknown destination.
The assailants demanded for N1 billion ransom as the only condition for the release of the children.
