Bandits, who abuduct an unspecified number of students attending Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School in Tegina town, Rafi Local Government of Niger State, on Sunday, May 30, have reportedly demanded N110m ransom for their release, Newspremises reports.

The school headmaster, Alhaji Abubakar Alhassan, who made this known, on Tuesday, June 1, said that, the bandits made contact with the school on Monday to demand for the ransom.

Alhassan told reporters the bandits claimed to have 156 children in their custody, adding they threatened to kill them if the ransom is not paid.


Alhassan lamented the State Government has insisted that it would not pay the ransom but would engage in negotiation with the bandits.

Newspremises gathered that, parents of the children and the community have started soliciting funds for release of their children.

Niger Deputy Governor Ahmed Ketso has stated the government would not pay ransom for the release of the children.

He said the government believes that negotiation would work like it did during Kagara boys abduction.

This abnormal has become the new norm in that part of the country. But the likes of the AGF, Garbage Shehu, Munguno, and their cohorts would rather masturbate over issues concerning IPOB.
We are not concerned that people don't like us, rather, we are concerned when their unlikeness for us threatens our own existence amd that of our unborn generation.

Adamu Garba should be more worried about this worrisome pattern in his region than what happens in faraway South East.

Banditry is the most lucrative business now in Nigeria.

They want Nigeria to remain as one to enable the Fulani's to conquer every nook and cranny of her !

And Buhari is shocked.
