“We estimated that about 24 are still with the terrorists. Six have come back home, but 24 are still with them (terrorists). The total of those kidnapped was 30,” the source disclosed to journalists.

A few hours later, the Nigerian Army announced that it had rescued six of the students after a gun battle with the terrorists.
