Armed assailants raided a learning facility in Nigeria's Kebbi State on 17 November, taking the life of an employee and abducting two dozen plus one scholars.
Nigerian President the president commended law enforcement concerning the "swift response" post-occurrence - although precise conditions of the girls' release remained unclear.
Africa's most populous nation has experienced a spate of abductions over the past few years - amounting to 250 children abducted from faith-based academy recently remaining unaccounted for.
In a statement, an appointed consultant within the government verified that all the girls abducted from educational facility located in the area had returned safely, stating that this event caused copycat kidnappings within additional Nigerian states.

Through another message through social media, the president commented: "Aerial forces is to maintain ongoing monitoring across distant regions, synchronising operations with ground units to accurately locate, separate, disrupt, and neutralise any dangerous presence."
More than 1,500 children have been abducted within learning facilities over the past decade, during which two hundred seventy-six students were taken hostage amid the well-known major capture incident.
Days ago, a minimum of numerous pupils and workers got captured at St Mary's School, faith-based academy, in Nigeria's regional territory.
Several dozen people taken from learning institution were able to flee as reported by faith-based groups - yet approximately two hundred fifty are still missing.
The main Catholic cleric across the territory has commented that Nigeria's government is making "little substantial action" to rescue captured persons.
The abduction at the institution marked the third instance affecting the nation over recent days, compelling the administration to postpone his trip to the G20 summit taking place in South Africa at the weekend to address the emergency.
UN education envoy the official requested global organizations to make maximum effort" to help measures to return captured students.
The envoy, ex-British leader, stated: "We also have responsibility to guarantee that Nigerian schools are safe spaces for studying, not spaces where children might get taken from their classroom for illegal gain."
