Students, staff of the state polytechnic, Nuhu Bamalli, have regained freedom.

It has been confirmed that six of the students and two staff of the institution who were kidnapped were released by their abductors on Thursday night at an undisclosed location in the state.

Confirming this development was the public relations officer of the institution, Abdullahi Shehu.

He said the victims were released after series of negotiations between the parents of the abductees and their abductors.

However, he could not confirm categorically if the ransom was paid or not. Still, he explained that the school Management would receive the abductees today, at a location where they were kept after their release by the bandits.

Recall that bandits attacked the school on June 11, whisked away scores of students in their hostel, alongside staff, at their residual quarters, and were taken to an unknown destination.

The attack also led to the death of a student of the polytechnic.

The bandits invaded the institution’s staff quarters on the campus, shooting sporadically, and in the “process, two students were hit and sustained gunshot injuries.’’

“They were rushed to the hospital for medical attention. Sadly, one of the victims died early this (Friday) morning, while the other is receiving treatment,’’ the commissioner disclosed.

According to Samuel Aruwan, Mr El-Rufai was saddened by the incident and prayed for the repose of the soul of the student killed.

“El-Rufai wished the injured student a speedy recovery,’’ he said, adding that senior government officials and security agencies were already assessing and interfacing with the management and students of the institution.
