Some parents of the abducted members of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) have appealed to both the Federal and Akwa Ibom State Governments to come to their aid in rescuing their kids.<\/p>\n

Recall that nine NYSC members, including a driver of the Akwa-Ibom Transport Company (AKTC) bus they were traveling in, were kidnapped while traveling to Sokoto State for the mandatory service year on August 17.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, two, a male and a female were freed after ransom was paid.<\/p>\n

Solomon Emmanuel, a parent, who spoke with newsmen after their meeting in Uyo on Tuesday, expressed disappointment that they are yet to see in tangible terms what the government especially security agencies claimed they have been doing to rescue their children.<\/p>\n

He further pleaded with the government to come to their aid, saying it would serve as evidence of the steps they were taking to rescue their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so bad when the government particularly security agencies say they are doing something to rescue those children. We only hear such things in the news, but we are not seeing results. The N70m those people are demanding currently is beyond us. We cannot afford that amount of money.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this is the time for the government to show that they are truly doing something about rescuing our children they sent to serve their fatherland in Sokoto State and on their way were kidnapped. That is why we decided to gather today and collectively appeal to the government for help,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On her part, Mrs Idongesit expressed fears over the threat by the kidnappers last week that if they (parents) fail to raise the ransom they should not hope of seeing their children again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt happy when I saw other corps members traveling with my daughter. How could I have known that my daughter would not be safe traveling in AKTC? Till today I blame the AKTC for what happened to those children in Zamfara.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were told that the driver was told not to go through that route once it is 6pm but he didn\u2019t listen. And after the first week the incident happened, I have not been able to talk to my child again because they collected their phones from them. It hurts when I think about the punishment, and suffering those chickens are passing through in the bush.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese days I don\u2019t sleep, I hardly eat. I spend the nights anguishing why nobody, not even our government has abandoned us in this situation. It\u2019s sad and painful. We (parents) are helpless and desperate because all the people we have contacted have not given us any hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have met with even the paramount rulers to help us reach out to the Governor but since then no feedback. I used other avenues like using some governor\u2019s aides but I doubt if Governor Umo Eno saw those letters we wrote to him for help more than one month ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I am telling Governor Eno, our federal and state lawmakers especially Senator Akpabio that we will not rest, we will continue to appeal to them to help bring back our children to us alive. Don\u2019t let them die in Zamfara bush. We the parents are helpless. We need your urgent support because we have just a few days to pay the ransom. There is no time,\u201d Idongesit said.<\/p>\n
