Bandits have released 28 students it abducted Bethel Baptist Academy along Kaduna-Kachia road in Chikun Local Government Area of the state.
Two of the students had earlier escaped while the bandits had released one on health ground.
The gunmen who invaded the school on July 5th had demanded N500,000 for each of the students.
Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kaduna, Rev. John Hayab, said about 80 students were still held captive by the bandits while the released students will be reunited with their families.
A total of 121 students were abducted when the bandits, shooting wildly, armed assailants breached the walls of the School on the outskirts of the State capital, Kaduna, at about 2 a.m. on July 5 and took students in the school hostel away at gunpoint.
Two Armed Forces of Nigeria personnel, Private Salisu Rabiu and Ordinary Seaman Bilal Mohammed lost their lives while engaging the bandits in an effort to scuttle the abduction.
