Kidnappers free Nigeria schoolchildren

Bandits have released 10 students abducted two months ago from a Baptist school in Nigeria's north-western Kaduna state.

It is the third group of students to be released by the kidnappers. 

The Bethel Baptist High School administrator, Reverend Joseph Hayab, said 21 students remain in captivity. 

He said their abductors demanded an undisclosed ransom for each student's release and described what the bandits were doing as torture for those parents whose children were not released.
