In a tweet sent from the kidnappers’ den, Kingsley said, “We were kidnapped on our way to Enugu for a convention. They are requesting 50 million naira for the 20 of us medical students. Please help us; we haven’t eaten for two days. Contact Pius at 08163420157—he is coordinating the funds”, Kingsley tweeted.
