Oyogist.com has learned that Parents and relatives of 16 yet to be released Greenfield University students have appealed to the Federal Government to hasten their release.
The parents lamented over the enormous 100M ransom demanded by the bandits an amount they said is too much for them.
One of the parents said during an interview with newsmen: “We don’t know their health situation, we don’t know whether they are eating or they are not eating. We don’t know the treatment or maltreatment they are going through.”
“As it is now, we don’t know what to do, because we cannot raise such money as parents.” So, we are calling on the government, we are begging that, they should do whatever it takes to rescue our children from the forest, from the bush, from the bandits where they have been for so many days now.
“We are pleading with the government, particularly the Federal Government and well meaning Nigerians to please come to our aid, because that money they are calling, is way more than what we the parents can afford.“That is why we are calling on government, well meaning Nigerians, corporate bodies who can come under Corporate Social Responsibility to help free our children by meeting the demands of these people (bandits).
“We are also calling on you the media to be in the fore of helping us to beg the government, especially the Federal Government to please come to our aid. We are really begging them, we really need their assistance.
“Our children are law abiding Nigerians, so we beg the government to rescue its citizens from the bandits. That is our appeal.”
