Unfortunately, the assailants had tragically killed a student studying Library and Information Science at Bayero University Kano (BUK), Talatu Salihu, and a staff member of a hotel in the state, Akpagher Joseph Terzungwe, and 13-year-old Mitchell Ariyo.

Following their murders, the kidnappers raised the ransom for the remaining victims and imposed a deadline of Wednesday.

Daily Trust, however, quoted sources within the FCT to have disclosed on Sunday afternoon that the seven remaining victims, which include a female hotel receptionist, a mother and her three children, as well as two young children, have been released and reunited with their respective family members.

However, it was revealed that both families had been relocated to an undisclosed location.

The latest development comes following the release of the four surviving siblings of the deceased Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah, who was tragically killed while in captivity.
