The police commissioner did not, however, provide further details.
He said that investigation is still ongoing as to the circumstances of their killing.
It would be recalled that a yet-to-be-ascertained number of students of the institution were kidnapped two weeks ago while they were preparing for their first-semester examination scheduled for last Monday.
However, 21 of them were rescued by the combined team of police and local vigilantes.
