Bandits have released the remaining 61 kidnapped worshippers of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Kakau Daji, Kaduna State.
The development came to the fore as the Kaduna State Government on Saturday reunited the victims with their families.
The Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, while handing over the victims to their families at the Albarka Baptist Church, Gwari Avenue, Barnawa, Kaduna, said the State was informed of the victims’ release by the military at the point of their release by the bandits.
Aruwan noted that before handing over the victims to the State Government, the military had carried out extensive medical evaluation on the abducted worshippers who had spent over 35 days in the bandits’ den.
There was however no comment on if any ransom was paid for their release.
Their kidnappers had demanded for N99 million ransom.
