Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has called
on the Kaduna State government to pay ransom for the release of abducted
greenfield students.
Gumi speaking on Kaduna Governor’s insistence not to
negotiate said no money is too big to save the lives of students.
He urged Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s to pay the ransom then go
after the abductors as well as retrieve the ransom after the students are
saved.
Sheikh Gumi during an interview with AIT on Tuesday said,
”Five souls were killed. Why? What amount of money is too big for us to save
the lives of those five students, what amount of money?
“Secondly, we can give them the money to get the boys out of
danger then go after our money. Nobody is saying you should not find them, you
can get the two back. “
The Islamic cleric wondered the idea behind the government
insisting on not negotiating yet not taking action about the abductions.
“To say you will not negotiate with them and also not take
action against them, I cannot understand that,” Gumi said.
Meanwhile, there is anxiety among Nigerians as the abductors
of Greenfield students threatened to kill them on Tuesday if the government
fails to meet their demand.
Five out of 22 students have been killed.
The demand made includes N100 million and 10 brand Honda
motorcycles which the gang leader referred to as ‘Boko Haram’.
