The 15 school children kidnapped have been released unhurt.

Kidnappers today released the 15 school children that they abducted from a bus on their way to school near in Aba.
 

Federal police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu told news men that authorities recovered the children early Friday morning, four days after gunmen seized them from a bus traveling in Nigeria's Abia state. Ojukwu said the nursery and primary school students were in good condition and soon would be reunited with their parents.

Abia state police spokesman Geoffrey Ogbonna said a joint military and police taskforce "rescued" the children and no ransom was paid, though officers made no arrests when they recovered the students.
