It is not clear exactly how many girls are involved. Previously, 317 kidnapped children were reported. According to a regional security commissioner, that number is incorrect. He says against the BBC that 279 girls have been released and that no one is detained anymore. A father of one of the girls told Reuters news agency on Saturday that seven children had escaped.
Armed men raided the Government Girls Junior Secondary School in the town of Jangebe on Friday. It is unclear whether they belong to a gang. It is also not known whether they received a ransom.
In december 200 kilometers away, schoolchildren were also kidnapped and earlier last month this happened in the more southern Kagara.
