Femi Adesina , the Special adviser, Media and Publicity to President Buhari has disclosed that Nigerians will be noted if a ransom was paid to the bandits to secure the release of the abducted pupils.
Appearing on a Channels Television programme on Monday March 1, Adesina averred that the abduction cases are tackled according to their peculiarities.
He Said;
“If ransom was paid, it will tell the country that ransom was paid, and if it is not paid, it would also say so.
“If there was payment, it would be disclosed. That is what I’m saying, and if there was payment, it will not be my duty, because I speak for the president.
“The president will not be the one to pay the ransom,. The agencies that would pay the ransom have spokesmen, who can confirm or deny if ransoms were paid.”
Adesina added that President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to tackling the security challenges the country grapples with.
He Said;
“We will see better security in this country, that is what the President is telling the country.
“No President expects the citizens of his country to be abducted, kidnapped or killed. President Buhari is determined to step up the war against insecurity.”
