The parents said the kidnappers told them on Tuesday that four of their children were now sick and that they would henceforth not negotiate with the parents again or allow them to speak with their children, insisting that they wanted to negotiate with the state government.
Mothers of the children were seen weeping and wailing profusely, while calling on the state government to do something urgently to get their children released.
A woman, who refused to give her name, was overtaken by emotion as she wailed at the top of her voice, calling on government to get her child, identified as Isiaka, out of the kidnappers’ den immediately.
Mrs. Toyin Philips, mother of Pelumi, a 17-year-old student, who was kidnapped, was seen weeping and demanding government’s intervention in the situation. She said “I want my son back. I sent my son to the school because there was no money. If I had the money the kidnappers are demanding for, would I have sent my son to that school?”.
“We are the one negotiating with the kidnappers. The kidnappers said they wanted N100 million. Government, please, don’t let our children die. Let their release be done today,” another parent, Mrs. Agbaosi said.
It has not been declared how soon the children will be rescued yet.
