After 40 days in captivity, 14 abducted students of the Greenfield University in Kaduna have regained their freedom.

They were reportedly dropped at a location along the Kaduna- Abuja Expressway for their parents to pick them up.

It will be recalled that, bodies of 3 of the abducted students were found on April 23 in Kwanan Bature village, which is a location close to their university.

Their abductors had threatened to kill all the students if their demand for ransom was not met by the parents or government.
