Also, a government official at Emure Ekiti, who confirmed the release of the abductees, said, “The abductees are here, the parents and family members are here. I will give you details shortly.”

A source, who also confirmed the development, said that officials of the state Ministry of Health were on ground to take them to Ado Ekiti, the state capital for medical attention.

Recall that the gunmen had on Monday ambushed the school bus conveying the pupils and staff to Eporo-Ekiti, a suburb of Emure at a bad spot and whisked away five pupils and four members of staff to the forest.

The kidnappers later reached out to the families of the victims and demanded a ransom of N100 million for the release of their loved ones but after much pleading the gunmen reduced the ransom to N15 million on Thursday.
