Kindly share this story:

The kidnapped pupils and staff of Apostolic Faith Group of Schools, Emure Ekiti have regained their freedom.[/b]

A confirmation from the Ekiti State Police Command Spokesperson, Sunday Abutu on Sunday morning, however, indicated that the driver is dead.

The abductees were said to have been released in the early hours of Sunday.

They were kidnapped on Monday evening along Emure – Eporo Road while returning to Eporo after closing school.

The kidnappers shot at the bus and later whisked away nine persons comprising five students, three female teachers and a driver among the occupants of the bus.

The police PPRO said, “All victims were rescued today at about 1.30am, but unfortunately, we lost the driver who was suspectedly killed by the abductors.”

A government official at Emure Ekiti, who confirmed the release of the abductees, said, “The abductees are here, the parents and family members are here. I will give you details shortly.”

A source, who also confirmed the development, said that officials of the state Ministry of Health were on the ground to take them to Ado Ekiti, the state capital for medical attention.

Meanwhile, Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on Saturday assured parents and families of kidnapped pupils and staff of the Apostolic Faith Group of Schools, Emure Ekiti, that they would soon be rescued to rejoin them.

Driver na sacrificed lamb

terrible. NIGERIA is been held hostage by terrorists

Why killing the driver? I don't know why drivers, security guards and policemen often get killed even when they pose no threat to these criminals.

So unfortunate that they killed the bus driver.
It is however gratifying to see that they were also apprehended and given befitting beating from which I doubt most of them will survive.

Say no to kidnapping

I hope the NPF are not talking about rescue after ransom were paid sha.i didn't see anywhere they talked about arresting or killing the criminals that abducted them.Me I no understand our security people again

The clowns in police uniform should learn when to use the word 'rescue'.

Where you take see Dat one?

How much una pay to rescue them.. Useless police force.

Kai! See what the country has been reduced to. Is pathetic and disturbing, I hope government will put extra measure to curtail insecurity

The driver has children nd other pple that depend on him but it seems they didn`t value his life that`s why he had 2b the sacrificial lamb.

Kudos to Ekiti State government, individuals and the security officers involved in securing the release of these innocent people.


It's time Amotekun get armed to the teeth.
If Fulani Almajeris can wield AK then our Amotekun outfit should be able to mount APC but then, we live where impunity rules. SMH

Nigeria police as now turn to, kidnapper victims pickup, after ransome paid.. Rescue indeed, rescue from where, or rescue from who?

Joy and sorrow merged

Good one.

God bless the Nigeria Police and AMOTEKUN for this joint effort rescue.

If herdsmen can carry AK-47, then AMOTEKUN should be allowed to bear more sophisticated arms.

God bless EKITI STATE

God bless YORUBALAND.

Thank God they came safe.

R. I. p to the driver

JohnAOne:

Tinububalls:

If they where truly rescued at least,they will recover the body of the driver right?
People pay ransom finish, police collect glory.

obviously the government paid ransom

Those on ground in EKITI informed that Hunters and AMOTEKUN corps were involved in the rescue operations.

It was a joint-rescue.

So you (and your people) are the real 🤡

Where are the dead bodies of the kidnappers..

Oh i forgot.. they have received their ransom in millions because the commander in chief of the armed forces is DOA ..

these guys will use the money and buy more ammunitions..

Story of the shit hole

Righthussle:
Good one our gallant police, The kidnappers will regret their actions.

With millions in ransom paid by the useless APc government..

The only regret should be you supporting incompetent leaders
