No ransom paid for Kebbi, Niger kidnappings -Senate spokesperson

The Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, has maintained that the Federal Government did not pay any ransom to secure the release of victims recently kidnapped in Kebbi and Niger states.

Adaramodu made the statement on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, responding to concerns over the lack of visible evidence of confrontations between security forces and kidnappers during recent rescue operations.

The rising frequency of school kidnappings has also intensified debates over the Federal Government’s alleged use of ransom payments, despite repeated denials from officials.

Human rights organisations and community leaders have long argued that opaque rescue operations create room for speculation, especially when victims are released without clear explanations of how they were recovered.

But the senator representing Ekiti South senatorial district believes that negotiations or contact with abductors can take multiple forms, and the public should not expect security agencies to reveal operational details.

“From our side at the National Assembly, we believe the Federal Government did not pay any ransom to anybody.

“If there is any contact with the bandits, there are several types, negative or positive. It can be through force or persuasion,” he said.

However, the Senate spokesman warned against assuming that military engagement did not occur simply because no bodies or images of arrest were presented.

“If you have not seen the corpses of abductors or them being handcuffed from the forest, that does not mean there was no serious exchange of battle.

“When abductors realise that superior power is coming, they can abandon their victims and flee,” he stated.

Responding to questions on the security lapses that preceded the abduction of students from a girls’ secondary school in Kebbi State last week, Adaramodu confirmed that the Senate has established an ad-hoc committee to probe the incident.

He revealed that briefings from the state government and security agencies indicated that soldiers assigned to guard the school reportedly left their duty post shortly before the attackers struck.

“We were made to understand, especially from the government of the state, that the soldiers guarding that place left, and minutes later, those people struck and kidnapped our children,” he said.

Lol. Military might also prevented casualties. I believe this harbokee man.

Military might forced the bandit to flee, and same military might couldn't capture any of the bandits. I blame Una, make Tinubu just implement this police withdrawal let's check something first.

Waaaooh!
This Military Might should be deployed to Sambisa Forest and deployed against Boko Haram & Bandits all over the North.

Bandits have informers who must have told them to flee before the security agents got there. Is that too difficult to understand! Bandits are in it for financial reasons not like boko haram whom are religious. So, they'll prefer to save their heads for another day.

Can you listen to yourself? If rag tag bandits could get intel of military agents coming to get them, same military with the billions being budgeted every year, couldn't get intel on how to capture these bandits, or at least know their whereabouts. I wonder how some of you think.

Issokay o. They should quickly do the same for the Catholic school kids.

reading comments like this fit reduce person IQ

Between Politicians, Yeyebrities and Satan
I dont even know who lies the most again

Yep.

They released all the hostages out of the goodness of their hearts.

Jokers and liars. No ransome was paid? Fine. What efforts are you making to go after the kidnappers? Something is seriously wrong with the black man.

We believe and we know are two different things

Nobody in government will ever accept paying ransome. They dont want to send a signal to kidnappers that they can always make money from kidnapping so, anyone expecting them to accept, will wait in vain.

As for me, I really dont care how they do it, I just want my brothers and sisters to be safe!!!

Make thunder fire that your mouth wey u take talk that rubbish. Bandits that were well paid and patted on the back for a job well done. Who knows if you're not one of their sponsors

Someone should tell this deceitful person that only what one does not know requires beliefs....

He's doing grammatical acrobatics and people are taking the werey serious....

Even for thIs mumu forum, no freedom of speech. Anything dem don ban you as maybe their master's no want somethings to spread...

Anybody can believe anything.

I believe some people in government, who are bandit affiliated just called the bandits and discussed amicably with them on business protection level.

Another person can believe the president went into the bush to prostrate to the bandit leader to secure the release.

Another person can believe that the bandits had a terrible dream about how Nigerian army destroyed them, then they left their camp.

Another person can believe that spell was cast upon the bandits by a cleric or jujuman.

Another person can even believe that the bandits have given their lives to Jesus overnight and decided to do restitution by returning the stolen students back to their owners.

Yet, another person might believe that the kidnapped students were kept in a village police station by the bandits and when the noicse was much, the bandits simply told the policemen to release the students.

BELIEVE IS NOT FACT! It proves nothing. Until we get the fact, everyone is entitled to their opinion and any opinion on the issue is valid.

I wonder how some of you think,some fools already affirmed this jargons already

Oga, where you there? Pls enough with these politics

Several people on this platform would be better Senators than this man.

Weak. watery argument, poor communication and self expression skills, speculation dressed up as certainty etc. Just low standards all round.

If true, I pray the same for you! 🤡

Foolish man. Abandon victims and flee, no be the same video we watch where terrorists dey ask the girls questions, that video was obviously for FG consumption, to confirm that the girls were intact before the ransom could be paid....once again, this man is a fool
