He revealed how he facilitated the release of 344 schoolboys of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara without payment of ransom.

Gov Matawalle said that repentant bandits and leadership of Miyetti Allah were instrumental to the identification of the syndicate that led the abduction.

“When we established contact with them, I persuaded them to release them unharmed. And so they did tonight. This is not the first time we facilitated the release of our people without payment of ransom.

“Ask anybody, we don’t pay bandits a dime. What we do is to extend olive branch to them because they also want to live in peace.

“As I speak to you, they are on their way to Tsafe, from where they will come to Gusau and sleep. They will begin their journey to Katsina tomorrow morning,” the governor said.
