Parents, school beg abductors

…Ambode promises speedy rescue

 Parents and management of Lagos State Model College, Igbonla, Epe have appealed to kidnappers of the students and teachers of the school to reduce the ransom from N150 million each earlier demanded to N6 million. 

The families of the four students, a teacher and junior school vice-principal, also begged the abductors to release the victims unhurt.
Sources said the gunmen, who stormed the school about 8a.m. on Thursday, had reached out to the parents through a private line and demanded N150 million ransom. 
It was learnt the families of the victims and the school management contacted the kidnappers through the phone line they used to reach them, but later agreed to pay N6 million after the management convened an emergency meeting to discuss the issue. One of the parents, who pleaded for anonymity, told our correspondent that he could not raise the amount demanded by the abductors.https://newtelegraphonline.com/parents-school-beg-abductors/
