Sheikh Gumi asks FG to collect N100m from CBN to pay ransom for abducted Greenfield University students

Islamic cleric, Sheikh Gumi, has called on the Federal government to collect the N100m ransom for the abducted Greenfield University students from CBN.

The cleric stated this in an interview with Punch. He said;

”The money they are asking for is too much; if I give you that money, you cannot run away with it. Nobody can run. So, why not give them the money, they release the boys and then we pursue them and get our money back and do what is necessary; it is simple logic.

“So, bring the money from the central bank. How can they move that money? We should not be stupid. These people are getting infiltrated; Boko Haram is getting close and they don’t respect the clergy. I need support to get them inoculated against the infiltration of these ideologies, whether Boko Haram or Ansaru, whatever it is. We need to shield them because they are naïve. If there is too much pressure on them, and they see help from Boko Haram, who are richer and have more weapons, it is going to consume everybody.” he added

This comes after Five of the 22 abducted students have been killed and one of them released on Tuesday, May 4 . The bandits have threatened to kill the 16 students left if the ransom isn’t paid.
