Six students as well as a teacher of Engraver’s College, a private secondary school in Kaduna who were kidnapped on the 3rd of October, have regained their freedom.
This was made known to newsmen in a statement issued by the state’s commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan.
Deacribing the release of the victims who were kidnapped from their in Kakau Daji Village in Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State by gunmen, Aruwan said, “We are relieved that this criminal violation of the right to liberty is over and that they are all back safely.
“The victims, most of whom are minors, and their families will now be focusing on recovering from this undeserved trauma,” he said.
However he did not state if a ransom was paid to secure their release or if they were rescued by security operatives.
Continuing, he said, “As we continue to combat banditry, kidnapping and other crimes, the Kaduna State Government urges all our communities not to give comfort to criminals by dividing victims and inserting ethno-religious narratives for the activities of ruthless miscreants.
“Government calls for vigilance in all our communities and continued cooperation with security agencies in this battle to secure our state and all who live in it,” he said.
