‘We paid N500,000 each,yet our children were not released’ – Agony of parents of kidnapped Bethel Baptist College pupils

   

    Justina McCarthy (not real name), who spoke to The Nation, said: “Each parent was asked to pay N500,000 and we paid. But to our greatest dismay, only 28 of the 121 children were released. We gave them the money in bulk, why should our children be released in bits?” Speaking with the tone of a visibly distraught mother, McCarthy, who pleaded anonymity, said her child is one of those who are still being withheld and that it has not been easy coping with the situation.

   “Any time it rained, what comes to our mind is ‘We don’t know what these children are passing through right now. We are in the house and at least have the luxury of using blankets, but what do these kids have to cover themselves from the cold out there in the bush?’ Honestly, we’re calling on the president of this country to do something and come to the aid of these children fast, so that they can be released. They are all parents who know the joy and pain of having children and what it feels like to have their children out there in the cold amongst these people.
