Parents of kidnapped students of Greenfield University in Kaduna state have appealed to the Federal and Kaduna state government to assist them in rescuing their children.
Their appeal comes barely 24 hours after bodies of three out of the abducted students were recovered by security agencies on Friday.
At a meeting held in Kaduna, the parents said they feared that their children might be killed if they don’t meet up with N800 million ransom demand from the kidnappers.
“He returned to the school on Tuesday, only for me to hear on Wednesday that my son has been kidnapped,” mother of one of the abducted students, Mrs Lauretta Attahiru said.

The Bishop of the Kaduna Catholic Diocese, Most Reverend Mathew Ndagoso, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in the country’s security sector and protect the citizens from constant attacks by bandits and other criminal elements.
Bishop Ndagoso said this on Sunday during the one-year remembrance service of a student of the Good Shepherds Catholic Major Seminary in the state, Mike Nnadi who was killed by bandits.
He also criticised the president, saying he has failed woefully in protecting the lives and property of the citizens, contrary to his campaign promises to improve the security of the country.
