About 32 students out of the rest of 63 abducted students of Bethel Baptist school in Chikun Local Government area of Kaduna State has being released.
The Kaduna State Government and police authorities are yet to confirm the previous improvement, an official of Baptist School told Channels Television that the students were released on Friday being 27/08/2021.
He further said that the released students have been handed over to their parents.
About 90 of the students have been released while 31 remain in captivity.
Kidnapping for ransom has become common in Kaduna as well as other states in the North-West and North-Central as armed men increasingly become emboldened.
In the last year, bandits have attacked many communities in the regions, abducting scores and killing others.
During the period, several schools have come under attack with over 1,000 students kidnapped.
Most of the victims have since returned after their families paid ransom to the gunmen, but some are still in captivity.
Reacting to that, the school management and the parents were so excited over the released students and thank God for his mercy over the students and trusting God for the release of the other students.
