Bandits Free 10 More Kidnapped Bethel Baptist School Students

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Sunday said 10 more students of Bethel Baptist School in Kaduna State have been released.

The Vice President of CAN (19 Northern States and Abuja) and its chairman in Kaduna State, Rev. Joseph John Hayab, said this in a short WhatsApp message to The Punch.

He said, “Ten more students of Baptist High School were released this afternoon. We have 11 now with bandits.

“We are thanking all Nigerians for their prayers and support.

“We are trusting God that the rest will be released very soon. All have been reunited with their parents.”

Recall that 10 students of Bethel Baptist School in Kaduna were released on Saturday, September 18 after spending 74 days captivity of terrorists, with 22 others still being held.

Hayab had said, “10 students were released this (Saturday) evening and have reunited with their parents. We are now hoping for the remaining 21 who are still with the bandits.”
