“Efforts would continue until other hostages are found and the terrorists arrested, tried and brought to justice by Nigerian law,” Mr Buba said. The Associated Press could not reach villagers in Kuriga town, where mobile network is not available.At least 1,400 students have been kidnapped from Nigerian schools since 2014, when Boko Haram militants seized hundreds of schoolgirls from Borno state’s Chibok village.
