EXPOSED: How Tinubu’s Government Reportedly Paid Terrorists To Release Kebbi Kidnapped Schoolgirls (VIDEO)
A new video has surfaced online, exposing the fact that the Tinubu-led government paid terrorists for the release of schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls’ Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State.
The footage, which began circulating late Wednesday, appears to show that government representatives and the terrorists had reached an understanding prior to the girls’ freedom contradicting earlier claims by authorities that no ransom was paid and that the rescue was achieved solely through coordinated security operations.
The students were released on Tuesday, days after armed men attacked the school, killed a vice-principal, and forcefully took the girls into the forest.
In the video, several armed men are seen speaking with the schoolgirls shortly before their release. One of them asks the girls how many military aircraft hovered over them during their captivity. The students respond that the jets were “uncountable.”
The man then taunts the government, insisting the authorities could not rescue the students “by force” and were compelled to negotiate. The abductors also question the girls about their welfare in captivity, asking whether they were starved or assaulted; the students answer “No” to both.
One of the terrorists assures the students that they would be reunited with their parents “based on peace deals,” claiming that the agreement had already been finalised.
Towards the end of the footage, another declares that the girls are being freed because negotiations have concluded, boasting that the government “cannot rescue you with might” and has failed to protect its citizens.
The video emerged shortly after Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, announced that all abducted students had regained their freedom.
Subsequent clips show the girls inside a bus, smiling and interacting with officials preparing to transport them to Birnin Kebbi for medical checks and documentation.
The incident has reignited discussions about the surge in school abductions and the government’s repeated denial of negotiating with armed groups.
Many Nigerians are now questioning the transparency of rescue operations as terrorist activity continues to spread across the northwest.
