JOURNALISTS were, on Saturday, barred from entering the venue of the official handover of the freed staff and students of Government Science College, Kagara, to the Niger State Government.

The students had arrived in Minna at about 10am and taken, amid tight security, to the NSDC Suites.

Some of the freed students were seen limping, while they all looked visibly tired and unkempt.

Journalists were not however allowed in when the Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Balarabe, reportedly received them.

The abductees were said to have been released in the early hours of Saturday in Madaka, Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.
