Bandits threaten to kill kidnapped students, staff from Zamfara school under 24hrs without N350m ransom

The group of bandits that kidnapped 15 students, four staff members, and a dispatch rider at the College of Agriculture and Animal Science, Bakura, Zamfara State, has given a 24-hour ultimatum for the payment of N350m ransom or they kill the abductees.

In a 30-second video obtained by FIJ on Wednesday, the masked bandits were seen holding guns to the heads of their abductees.

FIJ learnt that the bandits transmitted the video around 10 pm on Tuesday through the phone of one of the kidnapped students.

“They recorded the video using the phone of one of the kidnapped students and sent it to his contacts on Whatsapp,” a source said.
