The children from Kuriga school who were rescued from their abductors in Zamfara State after enduring 16 days in captivity are set to be reunited with their parents today.

According to reports gathered by The Nation, the parents had a meeting with their children at the Kaduna Women and Children Shelter, where the children have been receiving psychosocial treatment. However, it remains uncertain whether the six children admitted to the Dallet Barracks Hospital of the 1st Division of the of the Nigerian Army were among those reunited with their parents.

The total number of abducted children was 137. Although journalists were not permitted to attend the gathering at the Women and Children Shelter, a recorded video of the reunion depicted moments of immense joy as parents embraced their children and shed tears of relief at seeing them alive.
