Four More Bethel Baptist Students Regain Freedom

Four more abducted students of Bethel Baptist High School, Maraban Damishi, in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have regained their freedom, an official said on Monday.

The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State, John Hayab, confirmed the development in an interview in Kaduna.

He said that in spite of the latest development, 83 students are still in captivity.

Bandits in the early hours of July 5 invaded the school and kidnapped an unspecified number of students.

The Police Command in Kaduna, through its spokesperson, Mohammed Jalige, confirmed the development.

It is not clear if ransom was paid before their release or not.

However, the students who regained their freedom in the early hours of Sunday, are among the reported 121 students abducted at the school premises.
