Some freed students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in Talata-Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State have vowed not to return to school.
TrackNews Online had reported how bandits abducted some schoolgirls from the school in February 2021 and released them after few days in captivity.
In an interview with SaharaReporters on Friday, some of the students vowed never to return to school again, while others decided to seek transfer to another school in Gusau to continue their education.
“My friends and I have decided not to return to school again because we don’t want gunmen to abduct us again,” a student said.
Another released student said though she hoped to be a medical doctor or nurse, she was no longer returning to school.
“My future ambition before was to be a medical doctor or nurse but I won’t be going back to school again. The Nigerian government has failed to protect us,” she said.
