Ten out of the remaining 31 abducted students of Bethel Baptist High School Damishi, Kaduna State have been released by their abductors, after 75 grueling days in captivity.
Reverend Joseph Hayap, who confirmed this to reporters, said that the students who were set free on Saturday were immediately reunited with their parents since they have gone through difficult times at the hands of their kidnappers.

The students were abducted from the school on July 5, when a group of armed bandits attacked the school and went away with 121 students.
Since then, the bandits have continued to release the students in batches.
On August 28, 32 students of the school regained their freedom after an initial 15 were set free on the 22nd of the same month.
So far, a total of 100 students have regained their freedom, while 21 are still with their captors.
Although it is not disclosed whether ransom was paid, however, the school authority said it will continue to pray and press to secure the release of the 21 students that are still held back against their wish by the bandits.
