Governor Masari said on Wednesday that they knew the whereabouts of the students of the Kankara Government Secondary School, who were abducted last Friday.
The governor said reports indicate that the children are now in the Zamfara State Forest, “and if not all of them, most of them are there.”
On Tuesday, Boko Haram released an audio message claiming to be the one who abducted the students.
In a 4:30 minute message, the group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, said they took the students in their ongoing fight against the Nigeria Army.
The abduction has drawn strong criticism from President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, which is seen by Nigerians as negligent in maintaining security.
