Five more students of the Bethel Baptist School in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State have been freed by bandits.
This was confirmed on Friday night, October 8, 2021 by the Nigerian Baptist Convention President, Rev Israel Adelani Akanji.
Giving glory to God and thanking the people for their prayers and support, he stated that a Matron abducted alongside the students was also set free, adding that the remaining students will soon be released.
This comes two weeks after the bandits released ten students from their den.
Recall that suspected bandits had, on July 5, invaded the school located some few kilometres from Kaduna metropolis and abducted 121 students.
The bandits had said the students would be released in batches when they freed the first set of 28 on July 25 — after a ransom of N100 million was reportedly collected.
But following the release of the 28 students, the bandits were said to have demanded another N80 million as ransom for the remaining students.
Another 35 students were released in August.
In September, more of the remaining abducted students were released in batches.
