Recall that in June 2021, terrorists attacked the college and abducted about 70 students and four teachers.

Parents of the abducted girls at the Federal Government College, Gauri, Kebbi State, who were kidnapped by terrorists since 2021 are presently selling everything they have to raise ransoms for the rescue of their children.

According to social activist and former Kaduna State lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, who made this known on his Twitter account on Saturday, the undisclosed amount for ransom was imposed on the parents by the terrorists’ leader, Dogo Gide.

Recall that in June 2021, terrorists attacked the college and abducted about 70 students and four teachers.

While some of the kidnapped school girls have regained freedom, some who are still held by their abductors have reportedly given birth in the terrorists' den.

The President Muhammadu Buhari-led Nigerian government has promised several times to intensify efforts to secure their release but after over a year and half, at least 14 of the abducted college girls are still in the terrorists' custody.

Senator Sani who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Assembly said that "The parents of the abducted Girls of the Federal Government College Yauri, Kebbi State are selling everything they have to raise funds to pay ransom imposed on them by the terrorists leader Dogo Gide."

Senator Sani lamented that "This is the depth of helplessness and hopelessness” in the country.
