However, the video captured other parents berating the government for allegedly neglecting them and turning deaf ears to calls to address worsening insecurity in the country.

They also prayed that those who were behind the attack would in due time face the consequences of their action, noting that they had borrowed money to secure the release of their children.

The students numbered 14 were released earlier on Saturday at a location along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
