While speaking to a correspondent, a resident had said: “Boko Haram just returned the kidnapped girls this morning. They brought them back in the same set of vehicles which they used in conveying them last month. People are scared because they do not know what the insurgents are up to.”
As at the time of filing this report, it is not clear if the federal government paid any ransom to the sect for the release, but President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier said he was open to negotiation with the terrorists.
