The police said that a combined tactical team were deployed to comb the forest in a bid to rescue the girls.
President Bola Tinubu, who has since condemned the attack and commiserated with the families of those affected, postponed his scheduled trips to Johannesburg in South Africa and Luanda, Angola, to attend the 20th G20 Summit of leaders and the 7th AU-EU Summit, respectively.
He also directed Vice President Kashim Shettima to visit Kebbi and meet with those affected on his behalf.
