Parents of the six students of the Lagos State Model College, who were released on Friday after spending 64 days in the creeks with militants, are beginning to express fear over some characteristics being exhibited by their children.
This was even as others insisted their children returned from the creek and became prayer warriors, more on their knees than feet.
Most of the parents spoke on the condition of anonymity, claiming that security agents were monitoring and that they had been warned not to speak with journalists.
They had also been warned not to trouble their children into revealing their encounters in the creeks or allow journalists to speak with them.
The six students were abducted on May 25, from their hostel, by militants led by one General America.
The students spent 64 days in the enclave of the kidnappers before their eventual rescue on Friday by Lagos, Delta and Ondo states. The three state governments ably assisted and supported security operatives in the mission.
The long sojourn of the students in the creeks with the kidnappers has worried parents, security agents, security experts and Nigerians as a whole. Many wondered what would have become of the students’ frame of mind.
