The student is said to be in stable condition, but receiving medical attention.

Her release was confirmed by the Katsina State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Aliyu Abubakar-Sadiq, on Tuesday, November 21.

The girls have been in captivity since October 3, 2023, when gunmen invaded the rented apartment of the students located behind Mariamoh Ajiri Memorial School, Dutsinma, at about 2 a.m.

The police had at the time announced the arrest of a man suspected to be an informant to the terrorists, but since then no information was provided on the progress of the investigation.
