The abductors of students and members of staff of the Nigeria
Turkish International College (NTIC) have demanded N1.2bn ransom for the
release of the victims.
The abductors reportedly called a family member of one of the
victims on Sunday to make the demand. They were abducted at about 9:30pm
on Friday when the kidnappers dug through the fence and entered through
a back door.
The police have confirmed that the gunmen invaded the school and
took the students and the teachers away in a white Toyota Hilux vehicle.
A source told Daily Trust that the kidnappers “have been using
the victims’ phone numbers to call their families. Each time the
families try to negotiate, they would end the call.”
It was learnt that footage of the CCTV Cameras at the school hostel
indicated that the kidnappers wore masks when they stormed the hostel.
One of them reportedly wore skirt but he is suspected to be a man.
Among the victims were two Junior Secondary School (JSS) students,
one Senior Secondary School (SSS) student, three Nigerian workers and
two Turkish staff.
Meanwhile, representatives of Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim
Idris, AIG Zone 2, Aderanti Kayode and Commissioner of Police, Ogun
Command, llliyasu Ahmed have visited the school and assured that the
victims would be freed.
