He identified their names as Oluwa Toyin-Ojo; Hassan Lawan; Ayodeji Oyewumi and Gladys Brumen.

However, Mamu did not mention whether or not a ransom was paid but noted that their release followed the intervention of the affected families.

On Sunday, terrorists released a video where some of the victims were tortured with whips indiscriminately.

The oppressors threatened to either kill, sell or enslave the victims should the government hesitate to meet their demands.
