The Chairman of Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area, Hussaini Aliyu, has released the names of the schoolgirls abducted by terrorists from Government Girls College, Maga, Kebbi State.

This was as he dismissed a claim by U.S. lawmaker Riley Moore that the abduction took place in a Christian enclave.
