President Muhammadu Buhari has said payment of ransom for the release of victims of abduction is wrong, despite the inability of his administration to secure Nigerians, especially school children who have lately become easy targets of bandits.
The President said this in a statement by one of his spokesman, Garba Shehu, while celebrating the release of the abducted students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, Zamfara State.
President Buhari, who said he was overwhelmed by the release of the girls, said: “Ransom payments will continue to prosper kidnapping.”
He however urged the Police and the Military to go after the kidnappers and bring them to justice.
