We killed Greenfield University students to show govt failures - Bandits

• Bandits kidnapped students of Greenfield University

• Five students were killed by the bandits

• They are demanding a ransom before the release of the students

Abductors of the Greenfield University students in Kaduna States have said they killed five students of the school to show government's failures.

The bandits stormed the school on April 20, 2021, and abducted the students after killing a security guard.

According to reports, the bandits noted that they will keep on killing the students until their demands are met.

One of the abductors who spoke to the press identified himself as Sani Idris Jalingo demanded 10 brand Honda motorcycles for his gang.

According to him, the families of the students have already paid N55 million to them but they used the money to feed the students.

He said: “We heard the utterances of the Kaduna state governor that he will not pay ransom to bandits to purchase additional arms.

“He also said he told his family that he will not pay ransom if any of them is kidnapped. So, we want to show that the Nigerian Government has failed that is why we killed the students."

However, some of the kidnapped students who spoke during the interview appealed to the government and their parents to take the threats seriously.
