The abducted principal, vice principal and two teachers of Auga Community Grammar school in Akoko Northeast Local Government Area of Ondo State had been released.
They were released after five days in the kidnapper’s den.
A source close to the family of one of the victims confirmed that they were released at Imoga very close to Ibillo in Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State yesterday.
The Principal, Mr Joshua Adeyemi, his vice Mr Ifedayo Yesufu and three NPower teachers were kidnapped last Thursday while travelling along Auga-Ise Road in Akoko East Local Government Area of Ondo State.
One of the abducted teachers, Mrs Blessing Okeke who was heavily pregnant was later released by the abductors.
Okeke said they were thoroughly beaten while they trekked for about an hour in the bush.
The kidnappers demanded N35 million ransom but later reduced it to N4 million.
It was, however, not clear at the time of filing this report whether ransom was paid.
The spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami said she needed time to confirm the release.
