One of the 20 medical and dental students abducted in Benue State has cried for help, revealing that their captors are demanding a ransom of N50 million for their release.
Kwaghaondo Aondona Kingsley, a 20-year-old medical student, took to social media to alert the public of their situation, stating that the group had gone without food for two days. 
In a tweet sent from the kidnappers’ den, Kingsley said, “We were kidnapped on our way to Enugu for a convention. They are requesting 50 million naira for the 20 of us medical students. Please help us; we haven’t eaten for two days. Contact Pius at 08163420157—he is coordinating the funds,” Kingsley tweeted.
Kingsley also warned that the kidnappers have threatened to start killing the students tomorrow if their demands are not met.
They said they would start killing us tomorrow,” he said.
The students, from the University of Maiduguri and University of Jos, were travelling together when they were ambushed by gunmen around 5:30pm in the Otukpo area of Benue State.
