Abductors have released the remaining 29 students kidnapped from the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka in Kaduna State, north-west Nigeria.
Mr. Abdullahi Usman, who is the Chairman of the Parents’ Committee, confirmed the release of the students by bandits to Channels Television on Wednesday in Kaduna.
He explained that the victims were released some minutes past 4pm around the Kidanda area in Giwa Local Government Area of the state, and were on their way back to the state capital.
Usman, however, refused to disclose the amount paid as ransom to the bandits for the release of the students.
A source also told Daily Trust newspaper that the release was facilitated by the Sheikh Ahmed Gumi dialogue committee with support from former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Authorities in the State and the Kaduna State Police Command have yet to confirm the latest development.
