Three students of Bethel Baptist High School, Kaduna, who escaped from captivity but were re-abducted by another set of bandits have regained their freedom.

The three students (all male) were found by troops at the Kankumi forest general area in Chikun local government where they were abandoned by their abductors.

After being kidnapped from their school on July 8, they were reportedly re-kidnapped by another group of bandits while wandering inside the forest.

The second set of bandits were said to have renegotiated and collected a ransom from the parents of the three students, after which they dumped them inside the forest before they were found by troops.

The students have now been debriefed by the military, and will be handed over to the school authorities soon.

It is nearly a month since 121 students of the school were abducted from their hotels by bandits, after which the bandits demanded a ransom of ₦60 million for the release of the students.
