Parents of the 39 students kidnapped at the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have given the Federal Government a 48-hour ultimatum, to rescue their sons and daughters that were kidnapped 12 days ago.
They gave the ultimatum at a press briefing shortly before they staged a peaceful protest at the premises of the College on Monday.
Addressing journalists’ spokesman of the parents, Comrade Friday Sanni said, they do not think enough was being done by the government to rescue their children.
The parents queried the Government’s alleged inaction towards the rescue of the children, noting that, when such ugly incident happened in Katsina, Zamfara and Niger states, the governments acted swiftly and ensured safe and timely rescue of the victims.
The protesting parents temporarily blocked the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari highway, carrying banners and placards with inscriptions like; “Bring Back our Children”, “Bring Back Our Students” and so on.
