The Kaduna State Police Command has confirmed the escape of two kidnapped students of Bethel Baptist High School, Maraban Damishi, in Chikun Local Government Area of the State.
In a press statement, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Mohammad Jalige, stated that the Kaduna Police Command got this information on Wednesday from a credible source.
He said a report was lodged with the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Rijana, who got hold of the students, after which investigation confirmed they were victims of the bandits.
The PPRO said during preliminary investigation, the police identified the two students as Emmanuel Mangwai (20) and Mathias Mangwai (16).
”The students said that on Tuesday, July 20 , 2021, at about 6pm, they were tasked by their captors to go and fetch firewood from the nearby forest where they were held hostage.
”They, however, decided to take the opportunity of not being monitored and escape to the Rijana community along Kaduna – Abuja highway.
”The two boys are currently undergoing medical examination at Police Medical facility before re-uniting them with their family, while a tactical approach is being intensified to secure the release of the remaining students,”Jalige said.
