The Nigerian government has now confirmed that 105 girls have been released from among 110 kidnapped in Dapchi, Yobe State.

He said the figure is being updated as the girls showed up in the presence of public officials.
“What we have now is 105 girls and a boy; that makes it 106 persons released today”, he said.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that the girls were being conveyed in buses by road from Damaturu to Maiduguri amidst heavy security.
