Hopes of Bethel Baptist School Students release turns hoax


By Gabriel Udeh, Kaduna


Parents and journalsts, friends and families of the kidnapped Bethel Baptist High school students who migrated to the school premises Monday evening to received and witnessed the release of the students by bandits came back disappointed.

The parents and other social workers rushed in to the school premises in large number based on information that  bandits want to go on Sallah break, and therefore asked parents to pay N500,000 each to release the student as promo.

Our correspondent who was at the school premises as a star witness reported that the Bethel Baptist Church President Rev. Adamu Ishaya Jangalo, was also on ground at the school compound together with many parents and guidances of kidnapped students.One of the female parents who was there with picture of her kidnapped daughter told journalsts that she has never had a night sleep since incident happened, when her only daughter was kidnapped.


A male parent who confirmed the N500, 000 promo allegation however told newsmen that some parents mostly women spent their whole time waiting in the school on daily basis to see their children in vain.


The President also dismissed most information and some media reports about the bandits and students, describing it as unfounded.
He also said that they were always in touch with the activities with the bandits their demands.He explained that the issue of 30 bags of rice, motorcycles, amount of ransom demanded or paid so far or contributed by parents so far were all not exact.

Rev. Jangalo who came in private bush however asked the parents to go back to their homes and come back the next day without further explanation on issue of promo.Some parents, while in the place, were called and told that their children were coming through tollgate on Abuja-Kaduna road, but all of it proved to be lies, according to some swollen eye parents who also spoke to newsmen.
