Incredible incident in turbulent Nigeria
An incredible kidnapping incident took place in Nigeria! They kidnapped the man who ransomed them for… kidnapping victims! Kidnappers in Nigeria even kidnapped the man who was sent to deliver ransom for the release of dozens of students . The elderly man was sent by the children’s parents when they managed to raise $ 73,000 by selling land and everything else they had .
But when the kidnappers of their children abducted the old man who carried the ransom , the parents were left without hope.
It is worth noting that the northern part of Nigeria is plagued by a wave of student abductions , by criminals seeking quick profit.
The ransom is paid by the families of the abductees, but this is a rare case where the kidnappers also kidnapped the money carrier .
The kidnappers called the school principal to inform him that the money handed over to them was not the amount they had agreed.
Watch the video:
The 136 students were abducted from an Islamic school in Tegina last May. Gunmen on motorcycles entered the small town and opened fire, killing one person and injuring another.
As the residents fled, the kidnappers went to the school and abducted the children. The parents and the school authorities negotiated with the criminals , agreeing to pay a ransom.
They sold part of the land that belonged to the school, as well as other acquisitions.
As school principal Malam Abubakar Alhasan told the BBC, six people were sent with the exact amount of ransom to meet with the kidnappers in the forest, near where the children were abducted.

When the men arrived, the gunmen demanded that the oldest member of the group follow them into the forest, where they would count the money. ” Parents have now given up hope of fate.
They say they can not raise any more money. They only hope in God, “said the school principal. It is worth noting that more than 1,000 students have been abducted from schools in northern Nigeria since last December.
Hundreds of them are still being held captive, with just 28 of the 121 children abducted from a school earlier in July being released on Saturday night.
