The abductors of the students of Bethel Baptist High School are demanding the sum of 800 Million Naira as ransom .
A parent of the school who pleaded anonymous said the bandits asked the senior prefect to place a call to one of the senior teachers to hand – in their demand
The demand comes 2 days after the bandits invaded the Baptist Mission school and abducted scores of students.
Some of the students escaped while others were whisked away to unknown destination by the bandits. Two security operatives were killed during the invasion.
Reacting to the incident,some Nigerians who spoke with current matters expressed worry over the spate of abduction of school children especially in schools attended by children from christian background .
They called on the Federal Government to do all it can to stop the booming business of abduction of innocent school children for ransom by bandits.
Last week,the governor of Benue State had challenged the Federal Government to fight bandits and other terrorists with the same zeal it fought self acclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu was arrested and extradited to the country to face criminal charges.
