LAGOS FEBRUARY 10TH (NEWSRANGERS)-BokO Haram terrorist group has released three abducted University of Maiduguri lecturers in Magumeri, Borno State.

According to the brief given by the DSS, all 13 rescued persons are in the custody of the service and are on their way to Abuja with the assistance of the Nigerian Army and the Air Force.
In expectation of their being brought to the DSS headquarters, a team of doctors and psychologists has been placed on standby.
The rescued persons may be presented to the President and thereafter released to their families, if there are no issues of security or medical concerns.

The UNIMAID lecturers were kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorists while on a mission of oil exploration with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in the Lake Chad Basin.
