The bandits who kidnapped students of Greenfield University in Kaduna State have killed two more of the students.
They had killed three of the students four days ago, after demanding a ransom of N800m for the 23 students and a staff they took away.
News of the latest killings was disclosed on Monday evening by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs in the state, Mr. Samuel Aruwan.
Aruwan said the university authorities have been informed of the latest development.
“On a sad note, security agencies have just reported to the Kaduna State Government the recovery of two more dead bodies of Greenfield University students, killed by armed bandits today, Monday 26th April 2021,” he said in a statement.
“The retrieved corpses have been evacuated to a mortuary, and the university has been notified of the development.
“The Government of Kaduna State under the leadership of Malam Nasir El-Rufai is saddened by this evil perpetrated against innocent students abducted while pursuing their education for a glorious future.
“The Government sends its deep empathy to their families and the university management and prays for the repose of their souls.
“The Government will update the citizenry on further developments.”
Bodies of the unidentified students had been evacuated to the mortuary, Aruwan said.
