A former federal legislator, Shehu Sani, has called on those
in authorities to do everything possible to ensure that the abductors of
students of Greenfield University, Kaduna State, do not kill them.
The kidnappers, who are suspected bandits, have vowed to
kill the remaining 17 students if ransom is not paid.
About 22 students were abducted from
the university campus on April 20 when gunmen suspected to be bandits invaded
the school premises.
The gunmen within a week, killed five of the victims as the
state governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai vowed not to engage in negotiations with
any bandit.
Leader of the bandits who identified himself as Sani Idris
Jalingo, while speaking in an interview on Hausa Service of Voice of America
(VOA) said the remaining students would be killed if the government failed to
meet their demand.
According to him, the demand includes N100 million and 10
brand Honda motorcycles which he referred to as ‘Boko Haram’.
Reacting to the sad news, Sani, who represented Kaduna
central senatorial district in the 8th assembly, said, “The leader of the
murderous Kaduna Bandits, Baleri who kidnapped the Greenfield Students gave
tomorrow as the deadline for their lives.
“The clock ticks for the lives of these young Nigerians and
for the honour of their avoidable tragedy needs no tears afterwards.”
The former lawmaker further warned the Governor of Kebbi
State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, who recently asked Nigerians to seek divine
intervention to the security issues bedevilling the country.
“Kebbi Governor asked Nigerians to seek ‘Divine
Intervention’…Mr Governor be careful with that call for ‘Divine Intervention’…
the Intervention fit come in the way you no go like am.”
