All 279 girls kidnapped from their boarding school in northern Nigeria have been released and are on government premises, AFP reported on Tuesday citing a local governor.
Authorities initially said 317 girls were abducted in the raid by hundreds of gunmen on the Government Girls Secondary School in the remote Jangebe village on Friday. But the governor confirmed the "total number of female students abducted" was 279.
