This development was confirmed by the Kaduna State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. John Joseph Hayab.

“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,” the statement said.
