Video: Abducted Kaduna Students Plead to be Rescued

Malik Yahya/

A video has emerged of the remaining abducted students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria, pleading to be rescued. 

In the two minutes, 22 seconds video, published today by Daily Trust, the students, male and female, were seen sitting on the bare floor with their abductors standing out of view.

The video was recorded at night in a forest, and the terrorists were beaming torchlight on the traunatised students.

The students have spent 47 days in captivity. 

They were made to speak in Hausa and English languages, appealing to their parents to do everything in their power to secure their release.

“We are suffering. Some of us are sick and we have not been feeding well” said Yahaya Paul, one of the students. 

Another victim, Benson Emmanuel, who spoke in English made a plea saying, “We are tired of here, please come and help us get out of here.”

The students were among the 39 (23 females and 16 males) abducted on Friday, March 12 by the terrorists when they invaded the school located in Igabi Local Government Area of the state.

The terrorists have so far released 10 of the students in two batches of five, though the Nigerian Army claimed credit for the first batch.
