About 15 persons kidnapped alongside 156 students of Salihu Tanko Islamic school in Tegina Rafi Local government Area of Niger state, have escaped from their abductors over the weekend. It was gathered that the lucky victims escaped while some of the bandits stationed to watch over them were asleep. An escapee who got to Tegina first informed the people, prompting Niger state government to begin working toward assisting other victims. The escapee is said to be hospitalised for treatment. According to him, “We discovered that some of the bandits who were heavily armed slept off after being drunk and we cashed on that to escape.” Further information revealed that three other victims among the escapees arrived Tegina in the early hours of Sunday, while one of them who was rescued was brought to Minna where he is receiving treatment.
