 28 mors abducted students of the Bethel Baptist Secondary School in Cardona State have engaged their freedom. The students were found in the forest in the early hours of Sunday. It is unclear whether they were released in exchange for ransom. Earlier this week, another three of the students were found wandering in the village also in Cardona State. More than 140 students were abducted from their school on July 8. Habila Darofa, a journalist joins us live on phone. Good afternoon Mr Habila. Yes, thank you for joining us. So my first question is what do we know about the release of six students? Were they released, were they rescued or did they escape? What exactly do we know about about it right now? Okay, actually the children were released based on according to our counsel said there was a ransom that was paid which the body doesn't want to technically say that the ransom was paid but there was a ransom being paid for the rescue of the children. We just said 100 million was paid for the release of the children. Okay, some of 100 million are was paid if I got you clearly. Yeah. Wow, okay. So what's the next step right now? As you guys saw this, what's the next step? What is the next step? Yes, the next step was they were converted to school permission there. They were not done back with their parents but it was a weekly reaction while some of the parents were crying and some of them were so much depressed making the condition of the children and some of them are not able to work. Some of them cannot reach the stress they undergo at the time of the kidnappers. Okay, okay, well thank God for the release but how is the community reaction to this seeing that more of the students are still with the kidnappers? Yeah, the comment you were reaction was as I already said it was a mixed feeling based on what is happening and some of the sources it actually says the adopters they are going to be releasing the children on badges. So that is why they are going to be between each adopted student today. So subsequently they will be releasing them one after the other. Okay, can you just give us an idea of the number of students that are still in captivity and also how old they are? Can you come again? I said can you give us an idea of how many students are still in captivity and also their age range? Okay, you know actually the one hundred and fifty one students were at the den of the kidnappers three were in their release. So about eighty, eighty above students are still with the captive these two days to be released. Okay, okay. And you know the children there are the new students later and few later are some of them right from years to years to years to the upward. So the range ages children they are no more than twenty below twenty or so. Okay, okay. Thank you for joining us. We hope for the safe return of the remaining students in captivity.
