National Association of Parents Teachers Association of Nigeria has appealed to the abductors of Greenfield University Students not to kill them.
The abductors had threatened to kill the Students if N100 million ransom was not paid and 10 motorcycles made available to them.
PTA National President, Alhaji Haruna Danjuma, said in a statement that there was the need to beg the bandits due to spare the victims.
Danjuma said there was tension among all the families, relatives, and concerned citizens.
He described the threat as disturbing, saying the plea became necessary because as parents, they wanted all the students back home safely.
“The students are innocent and the threat is worrisome and as parents, we are all concerned and worried over the lives of our students and teachers of the Greenfield University,” he said.
Danjuma said it was unfortunate that bandits have now come up with new ways of extorting money through school abductions.
He said stressed the need for Government to provide adequate security to protect all Nigerian schools to avert further attacks.
