Eleven Abducted Bethel School Students Still In Bandits’ Custody

By Akinwale Kasali

Eleven students of Bethel Secondary School Students remain in the custody of Bandits who abducted them from their school in Kaduna, several weeks ago.

This is as Rev. Joseph John Hayab, the Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Kaduna Chapter announced the release of 10 more of the Students by Bandits.

Over 150 Students were abducted from the School by Bandits who have been releasing them in batches.

Announcing the release of the Students, Rev. Hayab in a WhatsApp message to Media Houses said: “Ten more students of Baptist High School were released this afternoon. We have 11 now with bandits.

“We are thanking all Nigerians for their prayers and support.

“We are trusting God that the rest will be released very soon. All have been reunited with their parents.”

The Clergyman did not disclose whether any ransom was paid before the release of the Students, just the same way it was not disclosed when some of the students were released weeks back.

Kaduna has become the epicentre of kidnapping of Students, forcing the Kaduna State Government to close down schools. It has just announced the resumption of schools, and parents are both nervous and on edge.
