Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Kaduna State Police Command has confirmed the escape of two of the kidnapped students of Bethel Baptist High School, Maraban Damishi, in Chikun Local Government Area of the State.<\/p>\n

The Command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, said this in a press statement that information reached the Command about the escape of the students on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that bandits had invaded the school and abducted an unspecified number of students on June 5.<\/p>\n

Jalige explained that on Wednesday at about 3.30 am, the Command was informed by a good Samaritan that two students of the school were sighted and believed to have escaped from their captors.<\/p>\n

Police rescue kidnapped Bethel baptist student, two others<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201dThey, however, decided to take the opportunity of not being monitored and escape to the Rijana community along Kaduna \u2013 Abuja highway.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe 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,\u201dJalige said.<\/p>\n

In another development, the Command\u2019s spokesperson also disclosed that a mob lynched two unknown armed men on Wednesday in Kakuri area of Kaduna metropolis.<\/p>\n

Abducted Bethel Baptist students doing well \u2013 Bandits confirm<\/p>\n

He reiterated the call of the Command on the people of the state to avoid taking the laws into their hands but to report suspicious characters to the appropriate authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
