The Defence Headquarters says the troops of ‘Operation Hadarin Daji’ successfully rescued all 344 abducted students of Government Science Secondary School, (GSS) Kankara, Katsina State.
Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle and his Katsina State counterpart, Aminu Bello Masari, had separately said the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association played a major role in the release of the schoolboys.
But in a statement issued yesterday, the spokesman of the Defence Headquarters, John Enenche, said the military rescued the captives, thanking the members of general public who volunteered information are also appreciated.
He said the students were rescued on the heels of credible intelligence by the gallant troops, with high degree of professionalism to ensure they were all rescued alive.
