In a related development, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a prominent Islamic cleric on Tuesday, May 4, urged the Central Bank of Nigeria to pay the N100 million ransom being demanded by the kidnappers of Greenfield University students in Kaduna state.
Gumi who has been at the forefront of championing amnesty for the terrorists said the federal government must not take the threat by the kidnappers lightly.
He was reacting to the comments of a parent of one of the abductees who lamented that the kidnappers were insisting on a ransom of N100 million before their wards are safely released to them.
