Gunmen suspected to be bandits had on Monday, July 5, invaded the school and abducted scores of students.
Parents of the 121 abducted Bethel Baptist School, Maramara, in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, shunned the Eid-El Kabir celebrations and instead converged on the school’s premises, praying and fasting for the safe return of their children.Parents said since the abduction of their children, they have remained sleepless.
Many parents were seen praying anxiously, while others showed faces of tiredness, looking weak and depressed. A parent said, “The little we can afford was rejected by the kidnappers who in turn threatened us and later gave a deadline for the payment of the ransom.” “The huge amount they demanded from us, is unbearable. I have no job; what my wife is doing is what is sustaining us and paying school fees of my children, including the abducted one. What will I do now?” He said tearfully.
