The students, who were abducted on March 7, 2024, when bandits invaded their school in Kuriga village, Chikun Local Government Area, were rescued by the military on March 24th.

While the parents rejoiced at the news of their children’s release, they now eagerly await the moment they can finally embrace their loved ones.

Adamu Abdulrauf Kuriga, whose daughter Hadiza was among the abducted, expressed his longing, stating, “We are still waiting to receive the children because we haven’t seen them since they were abducted. Even though we know they are with the government, we will want to have them back home with us. This is the joy of every parent to see his child.”

Khadiza, another parent whose daughter Safiya was rescued, echoed similar sentiments, saying, “We are happy the children were rescued and are with the government. But as a mother, I want to see my daughter because we can’t wait to see the children back home with us.”

Binta, whose son Suleiman was among the rescued students, added, “The government did well by rescuing the children, but we want to see them because, as parents, seeing the children will make us happy.”

The delayed reunion has prolonged the anguish of parents who have endured nearly two weeks of uncertainty and fear for their children’s safety. As the traumatized students recover from their harrowing experience, the warmth of their families’ embrace is expected to provide much-needed comfort and healing.
