The abductors of the Greenfield University students have released one of the abducted students of Greenfield University in Kaduna State.
The mother of the student, Lauretta Attahiru confirmed the release of her son on Tuesday to journalists in Kaduna
The release follows an earlier threat by their abductors to kill the remaining 17 students in their custody if their parents and the state government fail to pay the sum of N100 million as ransom by Tuesday, May 4th.
There are speculations that the student was released after his mother, wife of a Retired Army officer from Plateau State negotiated and paid ransom to the bandits privately before they released her son. Lauretta Attahiru has however refused to give details of her son’s release and whether a ransom was paid or not.
The new development is yet to be confirmed by the police and state government authorities.
