Defence Headquarters has refuted claims that Fulani socio-cultural organisation, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) effected the release of 334 abducted Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
John Enenche, spokesman of DHQ rather said the military rescued the students and not MACBAN members, as claimed.
