However, her abductors who had made the financial demand backed out when payment was offered, DAILY POST understands.
The sources said that President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government reached an agreement after a long communication procedure only to be turned back after an agreement. According to a government source, “While the FG remains strongly committed to securing the release of Leah and all other identified and unidentified abductees, by any means necessary, the terrorists chose much earlier after Leah’s abduction to use her to fan religious embers and cause devastating division in the country. And that was why the terrorists rejected the ransom government security agencies prepared to pay for Leah’s release.
