In October, Hayab had cried out about four of the students still in captivity, calling for the government’s intervention. “It is sad to again remind us that despite different security measures put forward by the government in Kaduna state, our children of Bethel Baptist High School who were kidnapped since July 5th 2021 at the school premises in Damishi, Kaduna, have not all yet been released,” he had said.
“We have prayed and we are still praying. We have appealed and cried out to the government and those who we thought are responsible for the security of our nation, but the journey to freedom for these children has been with the speed of a snail.”Ransom was said to have been paid on each batches of the students released.
