The Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai stated that:
“I mean it and I will say it again here. Even if my son is kidnapped, I will rather pray for him to make heaven instead, because I won’t pay any ransom.”

Following the governor's statement, there has been unrest in Kaduna as some students of Greenfield University have been kidnapped. A current topic on this conversation is:

Ransom: A temporary solution or a permanent damage

Highlights on the topic:

" Paying ransom creates permanent damages because the funds will be used to sponsor more attacks in the country "

- Chilaw

"I understand the perspective of the family members paying ransoms, it may seem like a good approach to them at the moment but that is what happens when the government fails in her duty to safeguard lives and properties"

- Foguns

Paying ransom has its disadvantage and advantage. Most people are concerned about the welfare of their loved ones not the outcome of the payment
