The abducted students and teachers of Apostolic Faith Group School, Emure, were on Sunday morning set free by the kidnappers.
They were said to have regained their freedom at about 2 am Sunday morning, but the driver simply referred to as Rasaki was killed while other eight regained their freedom.
The gunmen had on Monday ambushed a bus conveying the schoolchildren and staff of the school back to their homes at Eporo on the road and whisked nine among the occupants away, leaving the bus on the road.
The kidnappers were said to have reach out to the families of the abducted pupils and demanded N100m ransom for each of the nine persons held captive in their den.
The abductors, however, on Thursday reduced the ransom to N15m for all the abductees with threat to kill the victims if the money was not paid on time.
Confirming the development, Ekiti State Police Command Public Relation Officer, Sunday Abutu said, “All victims were rescued today at about 1:30am but unfortunately, we lost the driver who was killed by the abductors.
