Four female students of the Zamfara State College of Arts and Science who were abducted by suspected terrorists along the Birnin Magaji-Kaura Namoda Road six months ago are begging the State Government to ensure they secure their freedom.

The abductees made the plea in a second video released by the terrorists, where they cried out that their abductors are threatening to marry them out if their parents fail to pay the N12 million ransom demanded as a condition to free them.

The victims also said that their abductors gave their families one week to do so.

“We are begging you, parents, in the name of God; we are in trouble here with our abductors; please look for money to secure our freedom. 
The past government of Governor Bello Matawalle failed to secure our release; this is our sixth month and some days in captivity.
We are begging the Governor Dauda Lawal-led administration to do something.”

The victims were abducted in January along the Birnin Magaji-Kaura Namoda Road in Zamfara State, Northwest Nigeria, while they were returning from a wedding ceremony.
