Six students kidnapped from the Lagos State Model College, Igbonla in the
Epe Area of Lagos have regained their freedom.
This followed talks between the abductors and some government officials
from Nigeria’s southwest region.
This comes more than two months after gunmen stormed the school during the
morning assembly and abducted the students.
The kidnappers had on May 25 attacked the school premises firing gun shots
to scare the students and parents.
Policemen on guard attempted to intercept them and called for
reinforcement but the six abducted students were unlucky as the gunmen
whisked the students away through the waterways.
The incident had led to outrage and six days later, the House of
Representatives called on the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris,
to ensure that the students are rescued as soon as possible.
