They asked me to meet with the school authorities to raise N400m for my child to be released.” Another parent of one of the pupils said they begged the kidnappers that they had only menial jobs when they demanded the same amount. “I said N400m was much, but one of them told me not to worry myself. He said I should meet with the school authorities and the government. I was also allowed to speak with my child. I spoke with two other parents and they said they were asked to pay N100m each,” the parent said.
