Abductors of students of Greenfield University in Kaduna State have released one of them.
Although the police and government authorities were yet to confirm the development, the mother of the student, Lauritta Attahiru, confirmed the release of her son to Channels Television, on Tuesday.
She, however, refused to give details of how her son was released and whether a ransom was paid or not.
Some of the others parents said that the student was released on Saturday after his mother, who is a wife of a retired Army officer from Plateau State negotiated and paid ransom to the bandits privately before they released her son on Saturday.
The parents had earlier informed that the bandits have been negotiating with them individually, asking each of them to pay as high as N20million, before they eventually demanded a bulk of N100 million and 10 motorcycles on Monday, May 3.
