Another five kidnapped Kaduna students released

Abductors of 39 students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation Kaduna have released five more students from their captivity.

This is coming about three days after releasing the first five of the students kidnapped on March 11 from their school hostel.

This brings the number of freed students to 10.

The freed students were reportedly picked up by the police in the Giwa Local Government Area.

A parent to one of the students said, “Yes, five more of our children have been released. Presently, we are waiting for them to come into Kaduna.

“But I can confirm to you that they have already been picked up by men of the Nigeria Police. We are yet to see them ourselves.

“As soon as they come in, they are going to be taken to the hospital for examination, but we are waiting to receive them first.”

Kaduna Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, said he missed a call from the DPO in charge of Kidenda Giwa, who had possibly called to brief him on the development.

He however, promised to get back when he received details on the development.
