 And the Katana state government says, contrary to certain reports by some sections of the media, the bond between the governor of the state Nasser Arafai and the parents of the abducted students of the federal college of forestry mechanization and other citizens in captivity is a deep empathy. In a statement on Friday, the commissioner for internal security and home affairs, Samuel Irwin, said the governor will continue to work hard until banditry is contained without succumbing to emotional blackmail citing an instance that one noted that some sections of the media have been reporting the parents responses to the purported threats by the governor to prosecute them, which according to him is simply false and deeply mischievous. According to the commissioner, the statement of the governor warning importers who have been presenting themselves as government appointed emissaries to negotiate with the bandits across the state has nothing to do with the parents or relatives of the abducted students or any person in captivity. He said the state government will not join issues with the parents whose pain is understandable and with whom the Katana state government shares the common goal of the return of the abducted students.
