However, according to the released victims, they claimed that the attackers were armed herdsmen who were demanding for an unspecified ransom.

Sources at the school disclosed that the gunmen blocked the Esa-Oke Road leading to the campus at about 4:00 pm on Tuesday and stopped several vehicles before abducting some of the occupants.
