Abductors of pupils and teachers of The Apostolic Faith Montessori School in Emure Ekiti have demanded a ransom of N10m each for the abductees.
Five pupils, four teachers, and the school’s bus driver were abducted earlier in the week while returning to Eporo Ekiti at the close of school.
Days after the incident, the families of the victims and a representative of the school confirmed there had been contact with the abductors and they are demanding a ransom of N10m for each abductee.
They bemoaned the activities of gunmen in the area and appealed to the government at all levels to ensure the provision of adequate security for all Nigerians.
