The gunmen who abducted students and staff of Nigerian Turkish International Colleges are believed to have contacted the family of one of the abducted victims to demand a ransom of N100m, according to various reports.

Sources close to one of the kidnapped students said the kidnappers contacted the family early on Sunday.

According to the source, “The kidnappers called early this morning and demanded N100m. That is what they are insisting on for now, but the family cannot raise such amount.

“We are worried. We hope God will touch their heart to free  the victims. The police are also assuring us that they are on top of the situation.”

It will be recalled that gunmen Friday night stormed the Turkish International college located at River View Estate, KM 12, Lagos- Ibadan Express way and abducted eight persons, comprising five students,and three staff members at gunpoint.
