Governor Nasir El-Rufai says the gunmen who kidnapped six female students and two staff members from their hostels at the Engravers College in Kaduna state yesterday October 3rd, have made a ransom demand.

Briefing newsmen on efforts being made to rescue the abducted students, the governor who spoke to journalists in Abuja today, said the suspects have made contacts with parents of the abducted students demanding ransom for the release of their wards.

“They have made a demand for money and that is being negotiated,” the governor said

A mother of one of the kidnapped pupils says her daughter called her earlier today with a strange number, weeping and pleading for her to do all within her power to rescue her.

“My daughter called me early Friday morning on a phone number I didn’t know. She was crying and sounded frightened.” the distraught mother told AFP in an interview

The state police command says it is working to ensure the safe return of the pupils.

May God help us. Nigeria jaga jaga. Nobody is save.

The worst nightmare of every parent, would be to hear the voice of their child, calling from the phone of a kidnapper, in terror.

A single phone call of this nature, could cause a heart-attack, from the sheer horror of that reality.

Kidnapping as alternative means earning is reigning now..ours so call government or securities are helpless,the citizen and many innocent so are confused...the elite secured themselves...

Look what we've become under the dullard, hell rufai and ABBA kyari

hmmm

Sowore, Kanu, Fela, Fawehinmi; these people are seeing something that no one else sees.

What is this country turning into? The ransom would only empower them. They would use the money to acquire sophisticated weapons and kidnap more people and demand more money... Na so e dey start.

When you keep a snake as a pet, and start feeding it, someday it will grow and turn against you. I pray the victims secure their release soonest.

It is very possible d midget governor can arrange this kidnap to cash out some money from the state fund as ransom payment to his boys

Dont trust or underestimate these greedy idiots u call leaders. I know what they r capable of doing.

May Almighty God punish all those useless kidnappers.

Amen!
Why will they punish little children just to subject them to their madness?

There should be a clear cut law against kidnappers, rapists and "yahoo-yahoo" people eg, kidnappers earn 25 years in prison. Rapists (esp children rapists) earn, say 35 years. Yahoo Yahoo, say 10 - 15 years.

Imagine the evil, terrible news some people will wake up to. I can't even begin to imagine the trauma the children and their parents are going through.
And to think that they might rape some of these dear girls...gosh!

May God punish all those involved in the kidnapping of these dear children.

PS: I just saw that the ransom is a whooping sum of #50 million. Where will some parents get it?
Useless kidnappers. Can't they work and suffer?
They are useless cowards, not fit to be called men.

They should keep treating the bandits with kid glove

By 2025, with the level of hardship and hopelessness, half of the country will kidnap the other half

Isn't it shameful and embarrassing for d Governor? He isn't even ashamed to open his mouth to say Kidnappers have contacted d parents of d kidnapped gals.. Dis is d same person who claimed Kaduna was safe and reports of kidnapping is exaggerated jus like our Mere Commissioner VP.. What other proof do we need to know dat we are all on our own in dis country.... Seriously mayb jus mayb dey need to start kidnapping some of dis resident ZonBs make we see if their sense go com back

El rufai should do the needful, we all know he's aspiring to be president or vice president so he'll definitely play to the gallery n pay to score cheap points... Midget osi

Since internet fraud is not yielding proceeds as before, to maintain that standard of living , I think men have changed business line. Hence the tremendous increase in kidnapping today. We encouraged them, that they are returning our fathers loots by Oyinbo. It is our turn. Evil is evil

Stop protecting criminals because they are your religion or brothers attack them too like you do others that are not your tribe, mouth road blocks all over the north like you do the south you will see the change

Something wey don start.

Why are they complaining? When they were busy releasing bandits from prison and giving amnesty to captured Boko haram members what were they expecting...... The chicken has come home to roost! I wish them luck

They better not touch those girls..i am tired of this country

Exactly!
And it will make it look like kidnapping is a flipping legitimate business.

But on the flip side, those children need to be extricated from the hands of those very useless kidnappers ASAP.

Lemme indulge in some fantasy.
A micro tracker should be planted carefully in the ransom money.
When the girls are safe, the army should deploy born again drones and wipe out those fools.

This will serve as a strong deterrent to others.

Sowore, Kanu, Fela, Fawehinmi; these people are seeing something that no one else sees.

But it is a pity that many so call intellectuals, mostly youths sees them as men fighting for their selfish interest.
