One of the parents of the abducted students of Greenfield
University, Kaduna says N180 million was paid to bandits before their children
were released.
On Saturday, fourteen of the abducted students regained
their freedom.
The students were abducted on April 20 when bandits attacked
the institution.
The bandits subsequently killed five of the students and
threatened to kill the others if a ransom was not paid, while one of the
students was later released.
Shortly after the release of the 14 students, a video shared
by Television Continental (TVC) on social media showed two parents lamenting
the neglect of the government as they struggled to raise the ransom.
They said “it is unfair” that the government did not help
them to pay the ransom demanded by their abductors.
“That is what they (referring to bandits). That is what we
paid. N180 million, that is what they collected from us, from parents, without
the help of the government,” a father lamented.
“None of the government officials came to our aid, since the
20th April that they took these children.”
