‘Where do we go from here?’ Relative of slain Greenfield University student laments

A Twitter user, ‘Yamai’, has narrated the painful ordeal of finding his sister-in-law, Dorathy Tirnom Yohanna, among three of the students abducted from Greenfield University, who have now been killed.

In a Twitter thread directed at Tolu Ogunlesi, Special Assistant to the President on Digital and New Media, he said: “People’s children have become sports for bandits and kidnappers. I’m very angry right now because there’s just so much I don’t understand anymore. What’s the purpose of life as a Nigerian? What’s the sole responsibility of a government for/to the people?” he asked.

Two days after students of Greenfield University were abducted and a member of staff killed by armed bandits in Kaduna State, off the Kaduna-Abuja Road in Chikun LGA, three students were found dead.

The remains of the three students were found in Kwanan Bature village, a location not too far from the school premises, and were taken to a mortuary by the Commissioner, Internal Security and Home Affairs, and Force Commander, Operation Thunder Strike, Lt.Col. MH Abdullahi.

The bandits who kidnapped 23 students from the private university are demanding for N800 million.

Hi @toluogunlesi, my sister-in-law was among the 3 dead students found today from Greenfield University. We are all trying to unpack our feelings. People’s children have become sports for bandits & kidnappers. I know you get a lot of stick on here…

How can a mother bury her child? What’s the purpose of thoughts & prayers? Do we deserve to live and die like this in our own country? Do you understand why some of us choose to be “slaves” elsewhere than “kings” at home?

You’re not the president, I know, but please talk to your boss. The evil we do or our negligence surely does come around one way or the other. That’s the circle of life. Do something!! Bless you!!
