ADC Demands FG Clarification Over Alleged Ransom Payment for Papari Students

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has demanded clarification from the Federal Government over alleged ransom payments made for the release of abducted Papari students. The party raised concerns regarding transparency and security policy consistency.

ADC leaders questioned whether such payments align with the government’s publicly stated position against negotiating with kidnappers. They warned that inconsistent strategies could embolden criminal groups.

The party called for a detailed briefing to reassure citizens that national security remains uncompromised. It stressed the importance of accountability in handling sensitive security matters.

Security analysts have also urged clarity, noting that ransom negotiations can have far-reaching implications on counterterrorism policy.

The ADC maintained that public trust depends on transparency, particularly in matters involving the safety of students and national security operations.
