Akanji, however, said he would not speak on behalf of those who “probably were involved in certain ways but as for us as a group, we do not choose ransom as an option.”
He further stated, “I have heard a lot of information on ransom payment. Some said we paid N60m, N100m and even after now, I don’t know what people will say. “We believe that children that were taken should be brought back. Well, I cannot answer for those who probably were involved in certain ways but as for us as a group, we do not choose ransom as an option.”
He said, “We actually expected that whatever that he was doing should have resulted in the release of these children before now. However, they were not released and we kept being agitated. When asked if he would still allow his daughter to complete secondary education in the school, he added that the decision would depend on the school management.A parent, Mr Bege Danboyi, said his daughter, Louis, celebrated her birthday in the bush.
