BREAKING: Three More Bethel Baptist Students Excape From Bandits

Three more Bethel Baptist High School students in Kaduna were said to have escaped their kidnappers. 

Security personnel scouring the jungle later discovered them. 

According to a credible security source in Kaduna on Tuesday, the students were discovered strolling in the forest in the state’s Chikun Local Government Area. 

According to a source, the students were re-kidnapped by another gang of bandits who negotiated with the parents after their escape.

According to the source, “They escaped from their abductors and were later found roaming inside the forest by troops.

“They were found in a forest in Chikun LGA, where they have been for days without food,” the source said, adding, “The students looked pale and sick.”

The students were kidnapped in the early hours of July 5, 2021, around 2am on the school premises along the Kaduna-Kachia Expressway, Damishi, Chikun Local Government Area of the state.

The first batch of 28 of the students had spent 20 days in the kidnappers’ den. Thereafter, another four of the students also escaped from their captors.

This was after payment of N50 million was made to the bandits which warranted the release of the first 28 students.
