A 16-year-old kidnapped student of Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri in Kebbi State has given birth to a child in captivity.

Online reports disclosed that the teenager was delivered of a baby boy.

The unidentified girl is among 11 remaining female students yet to be released after gunmen abducted over 100 students and eight teachers and killed a police man in the mixed boarding school on June 17, 2021.

A few days after the abduction, security operatives succeeded in rescuing some of the students, security operatives succeeded in rescuing some of the students, while others escaped from the gunmen in the process of taking them away.

The bandits also released the teachers and 30 of the students.

One of the sources told PRNigeria that the parents of the 11 remaining schoolgirls in captivity expressed great concern despite payments of ransom and prisoner swaps with abductors at different times.

“When the government, especially Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi, ruled out negotiation with the armed group, which demanded ransom, families of the abducted students contributed and paid the ransom for the release of their daughters

“It is disheartening that the bandits collected huge ransoms and married off some of the victims and yet refused to release the remaining abductees,” the source added.
