Another boy said their abductors forced them to defecate in the same place that they slept.

Governor Masari has ordered that the boys be medically checked.

He assured them that they will be properly taken care of before being handed to their parents.

The boys who were kidnapped from their school, about 97 kms from Katsina, were released on Thursday night by the kidnappers.

The two governors of Zamfara and Katsina, who were involved with the negotiation said no ransom was paid.
