“This is someone who has struggled all her life, supporting herself through university by working at Dufil Company in Benin. Now, kidnappers are demanding ₦20 million, and we don’t know what to do. Her parents are less privileged and can’t afford this.
“Please, Nigerians, I need your support. If there is any way you can assist by spreading this message, reaching the authorities, or any help at all, please do. She has been my close friend since my 100 level, and I haven’t been myself since this happened.”
All efforts to reach the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General YD Ahmed prove abortive.
