Bandits release 27 kidnapped Afaka students
By Modupe Shodeinde
The remaining 27 students abducted by bandits from Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna State, have been released.
This comes barely a day after parents of students abducted by bandits from Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna State stormed the National Assembly Abuja in protest.
Daily Trust reported that one of the persons who received the students confirmed the news.
He said the release was facilitated by the Sheikh Abubakar Gumi dialogue committee with support from former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The students have been in captivity for about 2 months. Initially, 37 students were abducted from the college but the bandits released 10.
The abductors had demanded a N500 million ransom from the Kaduna State Government but Governor Nasir El-Rufai ruled out the option of negotiation, saying bandits deserve to be killed.
