The bandits who kidnapped over 200 pupils of the Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School in Tegina town of Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State are demanding the whopping sum of N110 million as ransom to release the victims.
The bandits who threatened to embark on killing the pupils if their demands are not met by Tuesday midnight reportedly contacted the School Headmaster, Alhaji Abubakar Alhassan, to make their demands known.
“I was baffled when the kidnappers declared to me that the sum of N110m should be paid to secure the release of the pupils and threatened to kill all the children if the money is not paid by the end of today (Tuesday)”, he said.
