CBN Should Pay ₦100m Greenfield Students’ Ransom Before It’s Too Late – Gumi
Gumi, who stated this in an interview with The PUNCH, said the Central Bank of Nigeria should pay the N100m ransom being demanded by the kidnappers of the students.
He made the call as a parent of one of the abductees lamented the kidnappers were insisting on a ransom of N100m. The parent, who spoke to one of our correspondents in Kaduna on condition of anonymity, lamented the bandits were still insisting on their demands and threatening to kill the students.
No fewer than 23 students and a member of staff of the university were abducted from the school on 20 April 2021. Few days later, 5 of the students were killed by the bandits.
On Monday, one of the bandits, Sani Jalingo, in an interview with Hausa service of Voice of America, demanded N100m and 10 motorcycles for the students to be freed.
He threatened that failure of Kaduna State Government or families of the students to meet the demands by Tuesday (yesterday), would lead to killing of the abductees.
