The students kidnapped from Lagos State Model College,
Igbonla, Epe, have been released.
Dolapo Badmos, public relations officer of the Nigeria
police force, zone 2, confirmed this to TheCable but did not go into details.
However, a source said the students, who were abducted on
May 25, secured their freedom in Ondo state.
Their parents had earlier paid a ransom of N31 million but
their captors refused to let them go.
It is not clear if it is all the six students who were
released.
The development comes less than one week after Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo vowed that the children would return “as quickly as
possible”.
Osinbajo gave the assurance at a social function he attended
in Lagos.
“I don’t know how many times the governor has spoken to me
about this and the inspector-general of police, the commissioner of police, the
DSS and even the armed forces,” he had said.
“I am sure these children will return as quickly as
possible; so, we look forward to their return.”
