 NSA Ribadu Warns Against Ransom Payments to Kidnappers, Terrorists


National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu has cautioned Nigerians against paying ransom to terrorists and kidnappers, warning it fuels further criminality.


Speaking in Abuja while handing over 64 rescued kidnapping victims—freed after a month in captivity in Kaduna—to Defence Minister Mohammed Abubakar, Ribadu stressed that the government has never paid ransom and urged families to stop financing criminal groups.

Defence Minister Abubakar also praised the military and urged the public to keep providing useful intelligence to aid security operations.
