After spending about 74 days in the den of the captors, six females and five male captives were released on Saturday after reaching an agreement with the Federal Government.
The terrorists had threatened to start killing the victims if the Federal Government refused to negotiate with them.
According to sources, the terrorists released the male captives on health grounds and women who are among the vulnerable as part of the agreement reached with the abductors.
It says, all the abducted women are expected to be released in the first batch while negotiations for the release of the remaining victims will continue but the abductors had cut down the number of women they initially agreed to release because the Nigerian Government had demanded that they include those with life-threatening injuries among the released.
Some relatives of the abducted passengers say that they have been expecting the release of the captives noting that they have not been briefed of the recent development.
