Parents of kidnapped Ekiti pupils said fried rice, black bullets, energy drinks, milk and N15 million were offered to secure the release of their children.
The schoolchildren attend the Apostolic Faith Group of Schools in Emure-Ekiti in Emure LGA.
The pupils and their teachers were abducted while returning home in a school bus after school on the penultimate Monday.
Five pupils and four teachers were kidnapped in the attack. Their abductors demanded N100 million.
After several negotiations, the ransom was reduced to N15 million.
One of the pupils’ parents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, “The kidnappers insisted on collecting N15 million on Saturday, and we rallied around the communities, including our people outside the country, to see the ransom. They even collected a cartoon of tin milk, black bullet, fried rice with chicken, soft and energy drinks and tramadol from us.
“We were asked to take the money and the items to a bush in Ondo state, a farmstead called Ago Paanu, at about 7:00 p.m. It was between Oba Akoko and Owo. Before they could release them, they confirmed the money and those items. We walked through the bush till around 1:00 a.m. when we saw the victims.”
