The kidnappers of the 20 medical students who were abducted in Benue State on Thursday have threatened to start killing the students.
One of the kidnapped students, Kingsley Aondonai, a student of the prestigious University of Jos, UNIJOS, disclosed this in a tweet from captivity on Friday.
Crying for help, Aondona, who secretly tweeted from captivity, mentioned that the kidnappers have demanded a ransom of N50 million for all the abducted students.
He added that their abductors have also threatened to start killing them on Saturday if the ransom is not paid.
Aondona’s tweet reads, “We were kidnapped on our way to Enugu for a convention, @Nigerian_Doctor. They are requesting N50 million for 20 of us medical students. Please help us. We haven’t eaten for two days.
“Pius is who we are gathering the money with. They said they would start killing us tomorrow.”
The victims, who are students from the University of Maiduguri and the University of Jos, were heading to Enugu for the Federation of Catholic Medical and Dental Students (FECAMDS) annual convention.
