The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Kaduna State, Rev. John Hayab, confirmed the release of the students to newsmen on Saturday, in Kaduna.
Hayab said 32 of the students were freed on Friday evening, while the remaining 31 students are still with the captors.
The kidnappers had on July 5 attacked the school and took away 121 students from their hostels.
The bandits released 28 of them on July 25, after a ransom was allegedly paid, and released 15 more on August 22.
At least 90 of the students have now regained their freedom while 31 remain in captivity.
Kidnapping for ransom has become common in Kaduna as well as other states in the North-West and North-Central as armed men increasingly become emboldened.
