The Lawmaker representing Niger East Senatorial District, Senator Mohammed Musa, has said that the state government didn’t pay ransom to secure release of abducted Islammiya students.
Although several news platforms reported that over N60m and new motorcycles were given as ransom to the bandits, Senator Musa reiterated that the State has repeatedly vowed that it would never pay ransom to the bandits.
He said, “The Niger State Government has made it very categorically clear and one of the policies of the state government His Excellency initiated, there is no payment of ransom for whatever reasons.
