One of the abducted students of Greenfield University in
Kaduna State has been released by the bandits.
Although the police and government authorities are yet to
confirm the development, the mother of the student, Lauritta Attahiru confirmed
the release of her son to Channels Television, on Tuesday.
She however refused to give details of how her son was
released and whether a ransom was paid or not.
Some of the parents told Channels Television that the
student was released on Saturday after his mother, who is the wife of a Retired
Army officer from Plateau State negotiated and paid ransom to the bandits
privately before they released her son on Saturday.
The parents had earlier informed that the bandits have been
negotiating with them individually, asking each of them to pay as high as N20
million, before they eventually demanded a bulk of N100 million and ten
motorcycles on Monday, May 3.
The parents however appealed to the government and Nigerians
to come to their aid so that their children will be rescued alive from the
hands of their abductors.
With the release of the student, the fate of the remaining
16 students still hangs in the balance even as the bandits threatened to kill
them if their parents and government fail to pay the N100 million ransom and
also provide ten new motorcycles.
