Kidnappers of five students and three staff of the Nigerian-Turkish International School have not demanded ransom 11 days after the abduction,  the police have announced.

The eight victims were kidnapped from the female hostel of the school located in the  Isheri area of Ogun State on January 13.

There had been reports that the kidnappers initially made a N1.2billion ransom demand and parents of the children have paid undisclosed amounts.

Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, Kayode Aderanti, however, said on Tuesday that no one has been contacted for ransom by the kidnappers.

Aderanti spoke with journalists after a courtesy call on former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta.

He assured that the police would safely rescue the victims.
