FG Maintains No Ransom Was Paid  For 287 Kuriga Schoolchildren Release

The federal government disclosed on Monday that no ransom was paid for the release of the 287 schoolchildren kidnapped from Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State.

GWG.ng reports that the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, took this position after the regular meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The minister’s disclosure came up following speculations made that ransom may have been paid for the released Kuriga Schoolchildren.

According to Idris, the non-payment of ransom is in line with President Bola Tinubu’s policy of dealing with such matters.

He said the president appreciated the role of the security services in the safe return of the abductees and vowed that all those involved in such acts in the country would be fished out.

GWG.ng earlier reported that the Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, announced in a statement on Sunday the release of the Kuriga schoolchildren.
