Abductors demand N60m ransom for Lagos schoolgirls

http://newtelegraphonline.com/abductors-demand-n60m-ransom-lagos-schoolgirls/

The abductors of three secondary girls from Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School, Ikorodu, Lagos State have demanded N20 million ransom for each of them. A parent of one of the girls, who preferred anonymity, said this yesterday.

However, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Dolapo Badmus, neither picked her calls nor replied text message sent to her mobile line to confirm this. This came as the House of Representatives yesterday mandated the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, to intensify efforts to free the girls. Parents and teachers yesterday intensified prayers for the release of the abducted schoolgirls.
However, academic activities were still grounded in the school. At 10a.m. yesterday, the parents and teachers were offering prayers at the school chapel. An unconfirmed source said one of the kidnapped students, Olusa Timilehin, is the daughter to one of the directors of Lagos State Anglican School Management Board.
