 If the words of Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmed Gumi are anything to go by, there is hope for the remaining 16 abducted Greenfield University students. He said negotiations were ongoing with the kidnappers following their threat to cure their undergraduate should 100 millionaires not be paid. The Islamic scholar on Klaus TV's The Breakfast said the bandits did not carry out their threats to cure the students because of the ongoing talks. And said there is no ransom period, but in the sense look at industry. These people have abducted children. They are demanding for 500 million lira and nothing else. This is, there was a standoff between them and the government and we understand they were attacking the government because they're taking a government institution and the money in the bar is very high because they were expecting something from the government and there was a standoff. So we went in between, negotiate with them, tried to see that they disagreed and freed these children. So in negotiations you don't ask what happened behind the door. Since the parents paid nothing and the government paid nothing. You see the process of reconciliation and negotiation should not be in the open. Especially as I've told you now, only God knows how many people are there in detention because when we were in Niger state, one of the bandits leaders stood up over discussing because they gathered themselves saying, telling his own colleagues, look, if we are really serious about this matter of peace, he said we should release the thousands, it's not in thousands of those kidnappers in the push. So we realize there are a lot of Nigerians who are unprivileged. They are still there, Alicia Bonobasangio, being from a president, a man of connection. We realize has since been concerned about what is happening in this country and there has been trying to make contacts to see if you can get people who will make him understand what is happening actually. And this is one of the good qualities of a leader to ask people who should know. And this is how we came about going to see him and trying to explain to him what is happening and also joining the initiative to see that we bring an end to banditry, kidnappings and in general insecurity in especially the northern region and Nigeria as a whole because it's something that now has affected every region of the country as a pandemic.
