However, parents of the remaining 17 abducted students are not unsettled about the state of their children as the kidnappers failed to reduce the amount they are asking for while on the other hand have killed three out of twenty.

“They called us (the parents) directly and individually, but they demanded for a collective ransom of N800 million.

“So, yesterday (Thursday) we (the parents) met at the school premises and we called them trying to negotiate the ransom, but they insisted on the N800 million.

“Yes, we pleaded with them (bandits) that the amount they were asking for was too much and beyond our power but we never imagined or expected they were going to be so cruel that they will resort to killing our children.”
