As four pupils, a teacher and a
vice-principal of Lagos Junior Model College, Igbonla, Epe, Lagos State,
spend five days in captivity, the kidnappers have given their families
48 hours to pay the ransoms placed on them.
This is just as the abductors told the
families on Monday that the health condition of the schoolboy, reported
to be sick, had worsened.
the ransoms demanded for the six victims had also been reduced to N6m.
The attackers, said to be five gunmen
and a woman, had last Thursday, at about 8am, invaded the school during
the morning prayers.
The abductors reportedly shot into the
air before making away with the pupils, identified as Isaac Adebisi,
Okonkwo Emmanuel, Abu and Jeremiah; the English Language/Civic Education
teacher, Lukman Oyerinde, and the VP, A.O. Oyesola.
The gunmen were said to have also fired a
warning shot while conversing with the families on the telephone as the
families reportedly begged, promising to pay the ransoms.
It was also reported on Monday that one
of the schoolboys fell sick in the kidnappers’ hideout, as the attackers
warned the families to hurry on the payment of the ransoms.
The kidnappers, who reportedly told the
family of the affected schoolboy that they had administered treatment to
him, later reduced the ransom to N3.5m for each of the victims.
