Gunmen suspected to be Kidnappers have issued death ultimatum to 20 abducted medical and dental students in Benue state.
DAILY GIST reports that the abductors are demanding a ransom of N50 million for their release.
One of the students, Kwaghaondo Aondona Kingsley, managed to alert the public by posting a desperate message on his X account.
In his tweet, Kingsley revealed that the group of students had been without food for two days, heightening the urgency of the situation.
He said, “We were kidnapped on our way to Enugu for a convention. They are requesting 50 million naira for the 20 of us medical students. Please help us; we haven’t eaten for two days.
Contact Pius at 08163420157—he is coordinating the funds,” said one of the kidnapped victims who tweeted from the kidnappers’ den.”
“They said they would start killing us tomorrow,” Kingsley said.
