An alleged leader of the bandits who identified himself as Sani Idris Jalingo is said to have told the Hausa Service of Voice of America (VOA), that if the government or the families of the students fail to pay a ransom of N100 million in addition to providing them with 10 brand new Honda motorcycles by Tuesday, the remaining students will be killed.
Jalingo stated that there are 17 students still in their custody including 15 female and 2 male students, one of whom is said to be a grandchild of the late 18th Emir of Zazzau, Shehu Idris whom he identified as Hamza.
He added that the families of the students already raised and paid N55 million but they used it to feed the students.
He vowed that it was his final warning adding that if the reviewed amount of N100 million is not paid in full, all the remaining students will be killed.
“You are speaking with the abductors of Greenfield Students. We heard the utterances of the Kaduna State Governor that he he will not pay ransom to bandits to purchase additional arms.
When asked if he sees himself as a terrorist, Jalingo is said to have laughed saying that, “I’m not but a food seeker.”

He also stressed that fact that, “If they fail to bring N100 million and 10 brand new motorcycles known as Boko Haram by Tuesday, I can assure you they will use trucks to evacuate the bodies of the remaining students.”
Jalingo also warned security agencies not to bother planting trackers on the motorbikes saying that they do not operate in the cities so it is not possible to arrest them.
