The armed bandits who abducted some students of Greenfield University in Kaduna state have vowed to kill their victims if the Kaduna State Government fails to meet up with their N100 million ransom demands by Tuesday.

The state is still yet to confirm the exact number of students abducted by the bandits.
The bandits had subsequently killed five of the students as confirmed by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan.
However, one Sani Idris Jalingo, who identified himself as the leader of the bandits, said that 17 students of the university are in their custody.
Jalingo, who spoke in a telephone conversation with the Hausa service of the Voice of America (VOA), threatened the state government under the administration of Governor Nasir Ahmad El Rufai if he fails to pay N100 million Ransom by Tuesday.
Recall also that El Rufai had at several times vowed not to negotiate with terrorists and bandits. He had also promised to root out bandits from the state.
Speaking further, Jalingo also demanded for additional 10 motorcycles.
He also disclosed that the families of the abducted students had already paid N55 million which he claimed was used to feed the abductees.
Jalingo also stated that the five students who were murdered is to prove that the state and the federal governments have failed.
