Kidnappings by armed men, commonly referred to in Nigeria as “bandits”, have become endemic in northern Nigeria, disrupting the education of hundreds of thousands of children.

The college’s spokesman Abdullahi Shehu, said the students and officials were released late on Thursday at an undisclosed location.
