The abductors of the 121 students of Bethel Baptist Secondary school in Chikun local government area of Kaduna state have demanded for food items from their parents to enable them feed the children.

The bandits warned that failure to do so will expose the children to impending starvation.

The parents disclosed this on Saturday during their daily prayer sessions to seek for God’s intervention for the release of their children.
