Abductors of Greenfield University students want N100million more

The abductors of the students of some Greenfield University have requested an additional N100 million payment from the parents of the victims.

Chairman of the parents, Marcus Zarmai, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to use his office to secure the release of the students before something sinister happens to them.

Channels TV quoted him as saying that the kidnappers are demanding an extra N100 million even after the parents have collectively paid them over N60 million ransom.

Having exhausted all the money they have to pay as ransom, the parents appealed to the Federal Government to assist them to pay the ransom demanded or find any other way to ensure the safe return of their children.

The students were abducted on 20 April. Five of the students had been executed by the terrorists, while one was freed after the parents paid ransom.

The terrorists had threatened to kill the remaining students if the ransom is not paid, but Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who seemed to speak with them, said they had dropped the idea of killing them.
