ZAMFARA, 4 March, 2021 (TON): Zamfara announced curfew as the security forces fired live ammunition at the people gathered outside the Government’s Girls Secondary School in Jangebe, on Wednesday.

According to the reports, at least one person died and two were injured during the firing.

The group was trying to get into the school when police shot to disperse them.

The reports are unclear; the local media reported that the security forces reacted when some youths threw stones at the convoy of the Commissioner of Security and Home Affairs, who traveled to the town.

Due to the situation, the government of Zamfara state announced a curfew, without providing further details.

Hundreds of girls, ages 10 and up, were reunited with their parents six days after they were abducted from Government Girls Secondary School last week. They were released on Tuesday.

Many parents who had to travel from afar had to bear violence and insecurity, however, the state governor said the released girls were 279 for it was not because some girls were still missing.
