A relative of one of the Ahmadu Bello University students kidnapped on Abuja-Kaduna road on Tuesday has reacted to the claim by the police that the captives were rescued.

On Wednesday, the Kaduna police command said the three students were released by their abductors after much pressure but did not say a ransom was paid.

“The Command wishes to state that, on the said date, August 26, at about 18:50hrs, armed men in military uniform intercepted some commuters near Masari village along Kaduna-Abuja Expressway, opened fire on the vehicles, in the process kidnapped six persons,” a statement issued by Yakubu Sabo, the command’s public relations officer, read.

“Due to the prompt response of the Police and other security agents to the scene, three people were later released by the hoodlums due to intensive combing within the general area.”

Bashir Ahmad, personal assistant to the president on new media, shared a report quoting the police claim, this elicited a reaction from Sadiq Ango, a Twitter user, who said the police lied and that it took the families 48 hours of negotiations and payment of ransom before the students were released.

The Nigerian authority is not ready to end this kidnapping menace.

Lolzzz. We know na... Police have now become d media assistants to d kidnappers.. Police will tell U dey have not yet being briefed wen kidnapping cases are reported but dey will shamelessly com out to announce dat d victims have been "released".. No mention of what happened to d criminals... How exactly do U want ppl to believe crime does not pay wen those charged with apprehending criminals are d ones facilitating their payment

Now we know the truth about this particular issue.


Nigerian police just dey try play smart on us nii

Well, my people..if you need original unadulterated pure honey

Call or whatsapp me on 081 0166 6771

Na so

How do our security agencies think for God's sake?

You came out to claim credit for something you had no hands in forgetting that we are in the era of internet.

This attitude will further empower the kidnappers; knowing fully well that the security agencies will not do anything but at the end of the day decieve the masses by taking false credit.

The question is; which curse is the name 'Nigeria' under?

Don't know why in Nigeria, simple things become rocket science.....

What a shame

A government of lies ...NPF is deceptive and a true reflection of PMB government of lies

My contiri.

shameless government

As usual, police and criminals

End time government

Inside life

Dumb

Except you are a mumu...

How will you believe that only the 3 flashpoint students were released when plenty other people were kidnapped along?

So police could only release the 3 students.

People should think before employing some people as aides. The so called aides should also think before posting rubbish.

Governance in Nigeria is looking like childs play these days!

It is hard to disbelief the young man's account.

Government can't claim it paid ransoms in order not to encourage copycat attacks.

Everyone knows that anything government says is a lie

Everything about them is lie

We knew nah.

We were simply waiting to know the amount.

Hahahahahhahahahahaahaahah,

Did I just hear someone saying "FG of Lies

And Afoja will check very well if the name of the person is sound like An IPOB Name

A Malam just called his Brother's Government LIES

Hahahahahaha

Nigeria.

NPF menaced busted! Taken glory where there non ..wahala dey find

Why will our supposed protectors lie on matters such as this?.In saner climes,a job will be lost for this.

of course we know that they never rescued anybody and that ransom was paid, we have always known that.!! no kidnapper arrested or wounded in a gun battle, how the rescue come take place?
