Tears as 28 abducted Kaduna Baptist High School students reunite with their parents [VIDEO]

Recall the 28 students of Bethel Baptist High School, Damishi, Kaduna who were just released by bandits after spending 20 days in captivity? They have been released and reunited with their parents.

The highly traumatised students and their parents couldn’t hold back their tears as they hugged themselves.

Recall that a total of 121 students were abducted from their school hostels by bandits on July 5. While one of the students, Abraham Aniya was rescued by security operatives alongside two other victims who were kidnapped along Kaduna-Kachia road on July 12, two other students escaped when they were asked to fetch firewood from a nearby forest on July 20.

Popular Nigerian pastor Sam Adeyemi says he couldn’t hold back the tear as he watched the video.

The video of the Baptist school students released by kidnappers in Nigeria today brought tears to my eyes. There’s no political or economic strategy more sophisticated than loving fellow humans. Those of us in leadership positions must show the way. Praying for those left.
