Parents, Family Of Slain Greenfield Students Speak Out

It has been chains of reactions since the confirmation of the death of three among the kidnapped students of Greenfield University in Kaduna.

The remains of the three students were found today on Friday, in Kwanan Bature village, a location close to the university, and have been evacuated to a mortuary by the Commissioner, Internal Security, and Home Affairs, and Force Commander, Operation Thunder Strike, Lt. Col. MH Abdullahi.

Abubakar Yusuf Sanga, the only male among the killed students, was buried in his hometown in Sanga Local Government Area in accordance with Islamic rites.

Parents of the abducted students of Greenfield University, Kaduna have expressed shock bandits killed three of them despite ongoing negotiation.

“They called us (the parents) directly and individually, but they demanded a collective ransom of N800 million.

“So, yesterday (Thursday) we (the parents) met at the school premises and we called them trying to negotiate the ransom, but they insisted on the N800 million.

“Yes, we pleaded with them (bandits) that the amount they were asking for was too much and beyond our power but we never imagined or expected they were going to be so cruel that they will resort to killing our children.”

Nigerian ex-presidential candidate and former vice president of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar has on his Twitter page shown and expressed his condolences concerning the killing of the 3 abducted students.

Atiku on his Twitter page was remorseful as he talked about the killing of the 3 abducted students of greenfield university in Kaduna State, praying that may their souls rest in peace. AMEN

Heartbreaking to learn of the killing of 3 of the abducted students of Greenfield University, Kaduna. How long shall we continue to lose precious souls? May their families and friends be comforted. It is time states are granted constitutional roles in the management of security.

Also, a relative of Dorathy Tirnom Yohanna, one of the Greenfield University students, wasted by the terrorists of Kaduna state has expressed dismay too.

Dorathy was among the three students found dead today at a village near the school, a few days after 20 of them were abducted from their school in Chikun LGA.

Her brother-in-law, Yamai with Twitter address @ydcoal, identified her in a post on Friday, as he tagged presidential aide Tolu Ogunlesi.

Dorathy seldom posted on Facebook and she revealed very little about herself, apart from stating she was a Southern Kaduna girl, single, and attending Greenfield University.

Her last post on Facebook was on 15 April, her birthday. She was kidnapped by the terrorists five days after on 20 April.

Yamai said her death has been devastating to her mother and the family.

In multiple tweets to Tolu Ogunlesi, Yamai wrote: “Hi @toluogunlesi.

“My sister-in-law was among the 3 dead students found today from Greenfield University. We are all trying to unpack our feelings. People’s children have become sports for bandits & kidnappers. I know you get a lot of stick on here…

“Where do we go from here Tolu? Do we worry about tomorrow? Do we believe in a fair, just, and righteous God? My mother-in-law hasn’t eaten or showered in 3 days since her daughter, whom she saw on Monday, got kidnapped & this death was the answer to her prayers.

“You’re not the president, I know, but please talk to your boss. The evil we do or our negligence surely does come around one way or the other. That’s the circle of life. Do something!! Bless you!!”.

Yamai then identified her: Her name is DORATHY TIRNOM YOHANNA …and she died by a plague created by an uncaring government.
