The military yesterday said six out of the 137 Kuriga students rescued from kidnappers are receiving treatment in the hospital.
The General Officer, 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Mayirenso Saraso, said the hospitalised students would be handed over to the state government when doctors certify them fit.
Saraso disclosed this after handing over 131 Kuriga children to the Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani at the Government House.
Bandits invaded the LEA Primary School and Government Secondary School, Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna on March 7, 2024 and abducted the students.
The students, comprising 76 females and 61 males, were rescued in Zamfara State on Sunday morning, according to the military.
