Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Tufa'i has said he would never compromise with the gunmen who kidnapped 39 students in Kaduna State.
He said, "how can you take money and give it to a terrorist who will use it to buy weapons that will also be used against you".
Last week, 39 students were abducted by terrorists and demanded a ransom of 500 million naira from Kaduna State Government.

The northern Nigerian state of Kaduna has been rocked by a spate of kidnappings in recent weeks, with two weeks ago raiding an airport staff area in Kaduna abducting 11 people and their whereabouts are still unknown.
