I am ready to die in the hands of kidnappers if it will bring peace to this country.For as long as you continue to pay ransome, it is like you are adding kerosene to fire. you are giving bandits, kidnappers money for ammunition to continue to haunt you. We should not pay ransome. this is my personal opinion.Read Also:Kaduna govt. recruits 10,000 workersEl-Rufais aideI have said it before and I will say it again, if I am kidnapped dont pay any ransom. rather pray for me that if it is death, I go in a good way and if I am going to be released that I am not violated.As long as we are giving them the money and they hurt people around, they will not change. Collectively as a country we have to say no, we can not continue to give them our hard earned money to buy weapons and drugs to kill and maim our children. If we dont put a stop to this, they will destroy us all. They will even kidnap the person that takes the ransom to them.You will see that some of them you even give the ransom and they still kill the person, so you have lost twice, she said.Speaking on communal clashes witnessed in parts of Kaduna State, Hajia Asia El-Rufai told the women drawn from Chikun, Kajuru and Jamaa local government areas to shun divisive narratives created by selfish politicians and work for the unity of the State.
