The food supplier of the kidnappers was said to have refused to show up for days.
The kidnapped students and staff of the Nigerian Turkish International School (NTIC) are reportedly starving in captivity.
According to Vanguard, the camp where the victims are being held has run out of foodstuff as the kidnappers' food supplier failed to show up since Saturday, January 21.
The victims - three pupils, two intending Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidates, and three staff members - were abducted on the night of Friday, January 13, from the school premises, located in Isheri, Ogun State.
The newspaper cited two separate sources - one said the food supplier has been arrested while the other said he disappeared with some foodstuff he was to supply on Saturday night to avoid being arrested by the Police who mounted surveillance around the den.
It was gathered that a man suspected to be an informant to the kidnappers was on Monday, January 23, arrested by members of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) around Riverview estate in Isheri area.
The informant, popularly known as 'Turkey' was said to be scooping information from the school to the kidnappers when he was nabbed.
He has been handed over to the Ogun State police command.
The victims - three pupils, two intending Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidates, and three staff members - were abducted on Friday, January 13, around 9pm.
