#Greenfielduniversity: Tension as bandits threaten to kill 17 students

Following the threatening statement by bandits that they will kill the 17 remain Greenfield University students out of 22 kidnapped, Nigerians on social media have raised alarm on the malady

The kidnappers have already demonstrated their willingness to kill their victims having killed five of them some days ago.

Recall that the students were kidnapped from a private university, Greenfield University, in Kaduna, North-west Nigeria, on April 20.

Speaking in an interview on Monday, the leader of the kidnappers, Sani Jalingo, also known as Baleri, said unless the government pays a ransom of N100 million and 10 brand new Honda motorcycles, the government should come with a truck to evacuate the bodies of the students on Tuesday.

However, embittered Nigerians have taken to Twitter to lament the current situation in the country, calling on the government to act fast in other to save the lives of its citizens.

Bill Gates is NOT your business as a Nigerian. His marriage/divorce is NOT priority to you. He’s the richest man in the world (or was). He will be fine.

Pls kindly lend your voice for the #Greenfielduniversity students. Let’s not wait to see them killed.

They need us. Speak up!

There are reports that if the Govt doesn’t meet the demands of the terrorists, more Greenfield University students will be slaughtered.

They have already killed 5 students.

Pls let’s speak up for these helpless children. Lend your voice.

Pls pass this on #Greenfielduniversity

When I remember the students killed at #Greenfielduniversity and those still in danger, I can’t help thinking that some people somewhere are collecting salaries and allowances for securing citizens and there’s this much insecurity

We created this monster currently, paying kidnappers and pampering repentant terrorists. Now some students of #Greenfielduniversity may pay for the government's inability to protect them with their lives.

This is no longer acceptable, it's becoming a norm and has to stop

An American, Phillip Watson, got kidnapped in Niger Republic, but was transported to Nigeria by his abductors; American Special Forces conducted a sting operation all the way from USA to Nigeria and back to Niger. Rescued him without loosing a single man. #Greenfielduniversity

Bandits threatened to kill abducted #GreenfieldUniversity students today, yet not a word from your president while his VP also was busy chasing Microsoft.

Let the Lord preserve them
Let the angels of the Lord reactivate(Acts 12)and set them free in Jesus name
