Fifty-three abducted persons were set free yesterday by bandits operating in Niger State even as the outlaws held on to the 27 pupils of Government Science College, Kagara and 15 others they snatched six days ago in the sleepy town.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ms. Mary Berje, confirmed to THISDAY last night that 39 of those released were the balance of the 47 passengers on board the Niger State Transport Authority (NSTA) who were kidnapped days before the Kagara abduction. Eight of them had earlier been released.
Although there were strong indications that the schoolboys might be released today, the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Ahmed Matane, however, told THISDAY yesterday that the abductors have not made any monetary demand but that negotiations for the freedom of the boys are in top gear.
