Abductors of the Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School Children have stated that five of the children in captivity are in critical conditions.
Gatekeepers News reports that the abductors of the Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School Children, Niger state, North Central Nigeria, have stated that five of the children in captivity are in critical conditions and may die soon.
Head teacher of the school, Alhassan Garba Abubakar, said the abductors told him this in their last conversation.
He added that the abductors are willing to accept the initial N18m ransom so parents can have their children back.
Alhassan said that the bandits sounded urgent on the phone, claiming they do not want more children to die.
“They called me and broke the news of the death. They urged me to make haste for the release of the children because five of them are also in critical conditions
“With the death of two of the children plus the earlier four who died, six of the children are now gone even though we have paid N50 million earlier, we pray that this time around God will touch their heart to release them,” he said.
