Parents of two kidnapped toddlers have pleaded for the release of their children.
Chimaraoke and Kelechi Okocha, aged two and one-and-half years respectively, were seized on Feb. 26, by unknown gunmen on their way to the University of Port Harcourt Day Care Centre.
Their father, Rufus, told newsmen in Port Harcourt on Friday that the kidnappers had reduced the ransom demanded from N80 Million to N10 Million.
�Since their kidnap, I have not been myself. I have not done anything to deserve this kind of treatment.
�Indeed, I do not know if my children are eating, or if they are kept in a mosquito-infested area,� he said.
Okocha appealed to the abductors to release his children in the name of God as he was only a businessman and did not have what the kidnappers were demanding.
His wife, Choice, also begged the kidnappers to free her children, stressing that as toddlers, they were on special diet.
�Please, tell me what will my children be eating now. How are they being kept and on what condition,� she cried.
Choice pleaded with Rivers people to prevail on the kidnappers to release her children because they did not deserve what they were going through.
