Parents of the abducted students of the Federal College of
Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna, have resolved to employ all possible
ways towards the released of their abducted children not minding the position
of Governor Nasir El-Rufai on the matter.
Spokesman of the parents, Mr Friday Sani, while addressing
newsmen in Kaduna on Friday, said, “It is better for us, the affected parents
to be arrested than not to allow us negotiate for the release of our children,
who are in conditions that are unknown to us.
“As we are talking to you, we (affected parents) are already
under arrest because some of us, since the abduction of our children cannot
sleep, eat and above all, we have developed psychological problems that are far
beyond any other consequence of our planned action for negotiation.”
Governor Nasir El-Rufai has continued to insist that he would not negotiate with bandits and has vowed to prosecute anyone who does that.
He added, “For 36 days since the abduction of our children,
we have been arrested emotionally. We want to let the government know that we
are not afraid of arrest of any kind. If our children can be released today and
are in their houses and l am detained, l think, l will be one of the happiest
persons on earth.”
The parents lamented that their children are faced with guns
and threats to life, stressing that there is no way they would remain silent
when their children are going through such traumatic experiences and the
authority wants them to keep quite without saying anything or seeking the
release of their children.
The parents noted that with the released of just 10 students,
the government appears to be satisfied, appealing to the security agencies to
expedite action to ensure the release of their children.
The spokesman pleaded, “We are appealing to the government
and security agencies to have mercy on us, the parents, to do whatever they can
do to ensure they release our children from the hands of their abductors.”
He explained that the bandits have started calling
individual parents to pay ransom to have their children released.
He called on individuals, private and public organisations
to please come to their aid with financial assistance to help them rescue their
children from the bandits so that they will continue their normal lives again.
“The bandits are threatening us the parents everyday with
calls that they will kill our children or marry the girls if no ransom is paid
for their release.”
