Five more students who were kidnapped by gunmen from a school in Nigeria three months ago have been released after ransoms were paid, the school administrator said.
About 150 students went missing after armed men raided the school in Kaduna state in Nigeria’s northwest in July, the 10th mass school kidnapping since December.
Such kidnappings at schools in Nigeria were first carried out by terror group Boko Haram, and later its offshoot Daesh West Africa Province, but the tactic has since been adopted by criminal gangs seeking ransom, according to authorities.
The bandits have been releasing the students in batches after getting ransom payments.

“No student was released for free,” he told Reuters late on Friday. He declined to say how much was paid.
