Bandits have released 28 students of Bethel Baptist High School in Kaduna State today after about 20 days in captivity.
The news was confirmed to journalists by Rev. John Joseph Hayab, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigerian (CAN), in Kaduna State.
Recall that the bandits raided the school on the 5 of July 2021 and kidnapped 121 students after killing two military personnel.
One of the students was found in the bush wandering together with 2 other victims and rescued by security operatives.
Two more students managed to escape from the kidnappers’ den when they were asked to go and fetch fuelwood by the bandits.
The bandits had reportedly demanded a N60 million ransom before they would release the students.
The authorities are yet to react to the development
