Ekiti: Schoolchildren, teachers regain freedom from Kidnappers

Abducted schoolchildren of Apostolic Faith Group of Schools, Emure-Ekiti, Ekiti State and their teachers have been released.

It is still unclear whether the victims who regained freedom at about 2.00 am on Sunday were rescued by security operatives or released after payment of ransom.

ROYAL NEWS reports that the sum of N100 million was demanded for the release of the victims, which was not paid earlier prompting rumours that the kidnappers had threatened to kill the pupils.

Unconfirmed reports emerged on Saturday stating that the victims had been released but the police swiftly debunked the report.

However, in a short video clip being circulated on Sunday morning, the freed pupils and their teachers were sighted sitting on the floor, looking tired.
