Bandits Kill Two More Students Of Kaduna Private University

Two more students of Greenfield University, Kaduna, have been
killed by their captors.

In a statement on Monday, the Kaduna State Government said
security agencies had recovered two more corpses of students of the
university and evacuated them to a mortuary.

The state’s Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs,
Samuel Aruwan, said: “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.

“The retrieved corpses have been evacuated to a mortuary, and
the university has been notified of the development.”

He said Governor Nasir El-Rufai is saddened by what he described
as 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,” he
stated.

The bandits had demanded N800 million for the release of the
students.

Some parents had told our correspondent that the bandits had
threatened to kill two or more students after every three days.

Recall that bandits had stormed the university last week Tuesday
and evacuated a yet to be confirmed number of students and
staff.

The bandits had also killed a security guard at the institution
before evacuating what sources described as half the student
population.

The school had on Friday begged the bandits to spare the lives
of the students and staff while calling on government and other
Nigerians to come to its aid.

Greenfield University was established along the Kaduna-Abuja
highway in 2019.
