Seven out of the 317 schoolgirls abducted by bandits at Government Girls Science Secondary School, Jangebe in Zamfara state have escaped.
The seven schoolgirls reportedly arrived home safely on Friday evening.
According to Channels Television, the girls returned home as they claimed they manoeuvred their way back from the bandits while trekking along the forest.
A resident of Kawaye village identified as Seidu Muhammadu who confirmed the development to SaharaReporters said his daughters, Mansura and Sakina, were among those abducted.
“I’m on my way to Jangebe now to see the situation myself. I was told they invaded the school around 1am,” he said.
