Bodies of nine persons have been recovered from Ungwan Dooh (Mado) village of Zangon Kataf Local Council, Kaduna State, following an attack by unidentified persons, The Guardian learnt.

However, the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union and the state government are not on the same page as to the fatalities recorded in the attack, as the union said 15 people were killed, while the government insisted on nine.

Aruwan said the troops of Operation Safe Haven , who responded to distress calls and mobilised to the area, reported that the assailants fled on sighting the troops. IN another development, after intense negotiation and payment of undisclosed amount as ransom, bandits have released 15 of the 80 pupils of Bethel Baptist Secondary, Kaduna State, still in captivity.

But the abductors had released 28 on Sunday, July 25, after the payment of N50 million ransom. Hayab said yesterday: “Ransom was paid, but I will not go into specifics as to the amount that was paid. We are still negotiating on how the other students will be released. Yes, ransom was paid; but we are not in position to discuss or disclose the amount.
