Nigeria’s Presidency has deleted
an earlier tweet it published regarding the rescue of the three students of
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria abducted on Monday.
Bashir Ahmed, Personal Assistant
on New Media to President Muhammdu Buhari, had yesterday tweeted that, “The
Kaduna State police command has rescued three students of Ahmadu Bello
University, ABU Zaria abducted on Monday along Abuja-Kaduna Highway”.
Replying Bashir, Mr Sadiq Ango, a
social media user and relative to one of the kidnapped victims quashed his
claim, noting that it took the family members forty-eight hours to negotiate
the release of the abducted students.
His words, “Lies,” he said in reply
to the tweet. “It took us 48 long hours of negotiations with the kidnappers to
secure the release of our sister to us, NOT the police. Ransom was paid in full
as negotiated with the three families involved”.
In view of that, Bashir went back
to his handle, deleted the tweet and apologized to Nigerians.
His words, “I have taken down
this tweet. Relatives and one of the victims confirmed that there’s no police
involvement in the process that led to their release. Got the info first from
NAN, minutes later some newspapers carried it, too bad. Police was trying to
take credit. I apologize for sharing it.”
