More than 300 schoolboys who had been kidnapped in northern Nigeria by terrorist group Boko Haram were handed over to government security agents on Thursday, the governor of Katsina state said. Governor Aminu Bello Masari said in a televised interview with the state channel NTA that 344 boys held in a forest in neighbouring Zamfara state had been freed. “We have recovered most of the boys. It’s not all of them,” he said. Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the kidnapping in an unverified audio recording. The boys are on their way back to Katsina state and will be medically examined and reunited with their families on Friday, Masari said. The Dec. 11 abduction evoked memories of Boko Haram’s 2014 kidnapping of more than 270 schoolgirls in the northeastern town of Chibok
