The two students were found wandering, on Saturday, in Dansadau forest in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
A chief of the Dansadau emirate confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES Sunday morning. He asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak to journalists on the matter.
The official said the students were handed over to the police in Dansadau and were subsequently moved to the police headquarters in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, late on Saturday. Other locals sources told PREMIUM TIMES that the students were found around the Dansadau forest and brought to the police station by locals around 5 p.m. Saturday.
The police spokesperson in Zamfara, Muhammad Shehu, confirmed the development to reporters in Gusau, Sunday morning. Kidnapping for ransom has become commonplace in Kebbi, Zamfara and many other states in the Northwest and Northcentral parts of Nigeria.
