Peter Jonah, Isiaq Rahmon, Adebayo George, Judah Agbausi, Pelumi Philips and Farouq Yusuf were abducted on May 25, 2017.
They released at Aboto Creek in Ilaje local government of Ondo state on Friday.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde congratulated the parents of the students and all concerned stakeholders over the development.
He disclosed that the students would undergo series of medical tests and trauma therapy before they are reunited with their families.
“The news of their release is therefore a confirmation of that belief and we are glad that they would be reuniting with their families.
“It is on record that the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode-led administration has invested massively on equipment and welfare of security personnel so as to ensure that the State remains safe for residents and investors.
“This Government has already taken giant steps to secure all our schools especially those in the suburbs and riverine areas.
“We are confident that the steps taken so far will go a long way in nipping a repeat of such in the bud,” Ayorinde said.
