A Nigerian man, Charles Kay Anyabuike, has expressed concern about the manner in which the 24 kidnapped students of the Government Comprehensive Girls Secondary School, Maga, in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi state were released.
The state governor, Nasir Idris, announced the rescue of the girls and later received them, but some people have questioned how the students were freed without any mention of bandits’ arrest or neutralisation.
Videos of the rescued girls circulated on social media, and Charles commented on one of the clips.
In a Facebook post, Charles, a writer, questioned whether the girls are taught in Hausa and can’t speak English.
He added that the girls didn’t look like they suffered in the den of the kidnappers, despite being in captivity for nine days.
Charles claimed the entire situation looked arranged from the get-go.
In his words:
“Kebbi schoolgirls regain freedom.🙏. We thank God o, whether ransom was paid by Tinubu government or not, whether the security forces captured any bandit or not.😀
“My question is this, do they teach these Senior secondary school students in Hausa language or what? Can’t they speak English? Also, do these girls look like they have been suffering in the forest for days?
“The entire thing smells like arrangee to me. From the beginning when the soldiers guarding the school were ordered to withdraw just before the kidnapping, till their ‘release..😀😀 Anyway, Nigeria we hail thee.”

Did Kebbi state Government say these girls are in Senior Secondary school? Haba! They are not telling the truth.
