According to the British Daily Mail, Reuters and other media reports, 17-year-old Ahaya escaped on the 12th. He said he sneaked away while the kidnappers moved the students to different places in the forest near the school.

Another person who fled and returned to his parents was 18-year-old Mahler, who told AFP that a total of 520 people were taken away from school by gunmen.

“After they took us, they asked the older students to count, and finally count to 520,” Mahler said, noting that the students were split into groups before he and four other hostages escaped. One of the gunmen kept hitting me because I was not in good health and couldn’t keep up with others.

Later, he let me follow me and gave me a chance to escape.
