“It took six days of negations in the forest before four of the girls were released to us,” Salim Kaoje told journalists on Saturday morning.

“We have seven more still in captivity and two of the parents are still in the forest trying to secure their release.”

He said they had paid an undisclosed amount of money to secure the release of the four girls after they sold their properties and a fund raising that saw many Nigerians assist the parents financially.

In January, Kaoje had confirmed that they were in talks with Dogo Gide after they sought intervention through the mother of the bandit.

FGC Birnin Yauri was attacked by bandits on June 17, 2021, were dozens of students and teachers were kidnapped from the federal government- owned mixed boarding school.
