The Kaduna state government says
it has discovered the corpses of two more students abducted from Greenfield
University in Kaduna state.
Samuel Aruwan, Kaduna
commissioner for internal security and home affairs, disclosed the development
in a statement on Monday.
The development comes days after
three of the students were found dead at a location close to the university.
The private institution was
attacked by gunmen last week Tuesday, and an unknown number of students were
kidnapped.
Six days after the incident,
there is still no official confirmation of the number of students missing.
According to Aruwan, the corpses
of the students have been deposited at a mortuary.
“On a sad note, security agencies
have just reported to the Kaduna State Government the recovery of two more dead
bodies of Greenfield University students, killed by armed bandits today, Monday
26th April 2021,” the statement reads.
“The retrieved corpses have been evacuated to
a mortuary, and the university has been notified of the development.
“The Government of Kaduna State,
under the leadership of Malam Nasir El-Rufai, is saddened by this evil
perpetrated against innocent students abducted while pursuing their education
for a glorious future.
“The Government sends its deep
empathy to their families and the university management, and prays for the
repose of their souls.”
A parent of one of the abducted
students had earlier disclosed that the bandits had reached out to them
demanding N800 million ransom for the release of their children.
The parent added that they were
still negotiating with the kidnappers, when three of the students were found
dead last Friday.
Meanwhile, the parents and the
institution have also appealed to the federal government and Kaduna state to
assist them in rescuing their children.
