Parents in rural communities of Faskari Local Government Area of Kastina State, where bandits abducted 39 children working on a farm, have pleaded with the government to rescue their children from their captors.
VOP news gathered that bandits in their numbers surrounded a farm on Sunday, where a number of people including boys and girls were working and abducted over 40 of them.
A source in Mairuwa community, one of the worst hit during the attack said the bandits surrounded the farm and started shooting sporadically before abducting the labourers.
He said the representative of the farm owner had mobilised the children after paying a levy of N1m to the bandits, adding that most of the adults working on the farm were able to escape during the attack.
