In April, 20 students and two staff of Greenfield University, Kaduna state,
were abducted when bandits attacked the institution. One of the students was released, while five of them were killed by the assailants, who further
threatened to kill the others if a ransom was not paid.
In May, the remaining 14 students
were released from captivity by their abductors. A parent of one of the abducted students said the bandits were paid N180 million before they were released.

The Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan has debunked the rumour that the kidnappers of Greenfield University students have been arrested.
Recall that the social media has been awash with the news of their arrest, saying that the kidnappers are currently cooling off in police custody.
However, in a swift reaction, Aruwan said he could not confirm their arrest as the state government has not received any report concerning their arrest from the security agencies.
According to him, “It is our desire to see that happen.”
He said, “I have been inundated with calls, messages and emails to confirm if the bandits responsible for the kidnapping of the Greenfield University’s students have been arrested.
