They told of how they sold their property to raise the N180million ransom paid to the gunmen, The Nation reports.

One of the parents said:

“we paid N180 million; that is what they collected from us without the help of any government. We, the parents, paid. The government did not send a single policeman to go after our children’s kidnappers.”

A crying mother said they also gave motorcycles to the bandits as part of the ransom.
