No fewer than 21 abducted children have regained their freedom in Zamfara State, North-West Nigeria.

The police say the 21 children who include two females were abducted when banditry terrorists blocked the Gusau – Funtua Road that connects Zamfara and Katsina States at Kucheri village where they abducted unspecified number of passengers from five different vehicles.
