The kidnapped schoolchildren of Apostolic Faith Group of Schools, Emure-Ekiti, Ekiti State and their teachers have been released. 

The victims reportedly regained their freedom around 2.00 am on Sunday.

The children and their teachers had been with the kidnappers for about seven days.

In a short video clip circulating online, the freed pupils and their teachers were seen sitting on the floor, looking tired while a mother lamented the condition of her child in the background.

The abductors of the school children had demanded N100 million for the release of the victims but it was not immediately clear if a ransom was paid or not.

A school bus conveying the pupils and some staff members to their respective homes was ambused by gunmen Monday evening.

About 10 occupants of the bus, five schoolchildren, three teachers and the driver were taken away.
