One of the 25 schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga town, Kebbi State, has escaped and is safe, authorities confirmed on Tuesday, AP News reports.

This was as hunters and security forces intensify their search for the remaining missing students.

The girls were kidnapped before dawn on Monday when gunmen attacked the school.

The school principal, Musa Rabi Magaji, confirmed that the first escapee arrived home late on Monday.

Another student managed to flee immediately after the raid and was not taken.

“They are safe and sound,” Magaji told The Associated Press.

A video verified by AP shows the two schoolgirls, appearing to be in their early teens, surrounded by family members in the village.
