According to Daily Trust, which quoted reliable sources, the students – four males and a female – who just regained freedom are currently on their way to the hospital.
The paper added that they were picked up by policemen around the Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
One of the sources, a security agent, told our correspondent that plans are being made for the students to be moved to a police facility for treatment.
Five students, who were released by bandits on Monday, were later picked up by the Nigerian Army and conveyed to an army hospital for health evaluation.
One of the earlier released students, Francis Paul, had narrated how the bandits selected five of them and asked them to mount motorbikes after which they were dropped off on a highway.
