Abductors Of Three Students In Lagos Demand N300Million Ransom

Just 24 hours after three Students were abducted from their classroom at Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School, Ikorodu, Lagos, the abductors have reportedly made contact with the school authorities and are demanding N300million ransom!.The three students: Olisa Oluwatimilehin, Popo Olaniyan Tofunmi and Akinayo Deborah are all in Senior Secondary School (SSS) 2 and are between the ages of 14 and 15.The students were in their hostel at the Babinton Macaulay Junior Seminary School, at Agufoye Lugbusi area of Ikorodu, when the incident happened.The abduction of the students reportedly came barely less than two weeks after a similar incident was foiled at the Government Model School in Owutu area of Ikorodu.

It was learnt that the pupils were studying in the Science and Technology Block for their examinations near the hostel around 8pm on Monday when the gunmen, said to be about 15 in number, stormed the premises, shooting sporadically.The bandits, one of whom was said to be masked, were reported to have been resisted by some male students.The students, however, had to beat a retreat when the hoodlums inflicted machete cuts on one of the male students.

The arrival of the school’s security men, who joined the students, forced the invaders to flee.The bandits reportedly escaped with the three girls, through the fence after failed attempts by the school security guards and some of the pupils to resist the abduction.
