Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has denied allegations that his government pays ransom to kidnappers, stating that his administration does not negotiate with bandits. The governor's statement comes amid ongoing insecurity concerns in the state.
In a bid to address the issue, Governor Sani emphasized that his government is committed to ensuring the safety and security of citizens, but will not engage in paying ransom to kidnappers. The governor's stance has been seen as a bold move to tackle the scourge of insecurity in the state.
The issue of ransom payment has been a contentious one in Nigeria, with some states accused of paying kidnappers to secure the release of abducted individuals. Governor Sani's statement is seen as a departure from this trend, and a commitment to finding alternative solutions to addressing insecurity.
