Reports have emerged that schoolchildren of Apostolic Faith Group of Schools, Emure-Ekiti, Ekiti State and their teachers, who were recently kidnapped by armed men have regained their freedom.
It was learnt that the victims regained freedom at about 2.00 am on Sunday.
It was yet to be clear at the time of filing this report if they were rescued by security operatives or released after payment of ransom.
It would be recalled that the abductors had made a demand of N100 million for the release of the victims.
The children and their teachers were abducted by the assailants on Monday evening.
Unconfirmed reports emerged on Saturday stating that the victims had been released but the police swiftly debunked the report.
However, in a short video clip being circulated on Sunday morning, the freed pupils and their teachers were sighted sitting on the floor, looking tired.
