Some of the parents revealed that the student was released on Saturday after his mother, who is a wife of a Retired Army officer from Plateau State negotiated and paid ransom to the bandits privately before her son was released on Saturday.

The parents had earlier informed that the bandits have been negotiating with them individually, asking each of them to pay as high as N20 million, before they eventually demanded N100 million and 10 motorcycles on Monday, May 3, 2021.
