Depressed parents and relatives of the kidnapped Nigerian Turkish International Colleges (NTIC) are currently looking up to God to help them bring back their kids after their hope of reuniting with their loved ones was dashed at the weekend. Ransom has been paid but the kids are yet to be released.

A parent cried “What else do they want us to do? We paid N5 million and yet they have refused to release my little girl. This is the ninth day and the longest of all such incidents in schools ever witnessed. Is this a repeat of Chibok girls abduction?

The most annoying part is that the Ogun State government seems to be adamant over this. Apart from the day the Deputy Governor visited the school and assured us that they would be released, nothing has been heard from the government.

She said  “One would have expected that such kidnap in a foreign school should be given the needed attention, so as to redeem our image internationally, but no! They have left us to our fate because it is not their children that are involved. The police keep assuring us that they would release them. How long do they want us to wait, for eternity?”
