Three of the 156 abducted girls of the Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School, Tegina in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State are reported to have died, investigation by THISDAY has revealed.
It was gathered that the bandits gave the sad information to some of the parents in a telephone conversation though they did not disclose the names of the deceased pupils. THISDAY also learnt that the deadline given by the bandits for the payment of the reduced ransom of N30 million lapsed two weeks ago.
“It appears we have been left on our own. No one is showing any interest in getting our children released from the den of the bandits,” one of the parents confided in THISDAY.
