A man walks with his son as residents block the Kaduna-Abuja highway in Gauruka, near Abuja, Nigeria, on May 24, 2021, during a protest against incessant kidnapping and killing after gunmen kidnapped 16 residents and killed three others in Niger State.
An angry parent of kidnapped Greenfield University students said N180 million naira was paid to the abductors of the university students kidnapped over a month ago.A total of 10 motorcycles were also given to the kidnappers as part of the ransom to secure the release of the students abducted from their school on April 20.
AI worried that the spate of kidnapping will worsen the rate of out-of-school children in the region and fuel a spike in child marriages and early pregnancies.“Millions of children are paying the price of the government’s failure to protect its citizens from violence,” said Osai Ojigho, the director of Amnesty International Nigeria.
“The Nigerian authorities must restore security to schools in Nigeria and provide psycho-social support to victims of abductions and their families, to enable them to heal from trauma and integrate back into society. There must be a plan to ensure that children can return to safe classrooms.” In a statement after the release, Kaduna State Government said it is “working with the FG and other states for military operations to secure our people” despite the accusation of abandonment by the Greenfield students’ parents.
so the so called government could not pay the money to release the students,they left it for there parents,bad government
