Establish Ministry of Ransom Negotiation, kano lawyer Urges buhari

A Kano State based legal practitioner, Bulama Bukarti, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to established a Ministry of Ransom Negotiation, payment and Documentation.
Bukarti who was worried by the rise in cases kidnappings and the huge amounts paid to bandits for the release of their victims, noted that with the establishment of such ministry, there would be proper Documentation of money spent by government for the release of release of kidnap victims as well as knowing who collected what and through whom money was paid.
He said such advice became necessary when he learnt through a close source that the sum of N100 million was paid for the release of the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali-Hassan.
”A family source confirmed to me that N100m, in cash, was paid for the release of the MD of Bank of Agric. The crazy money terrorists are making in Nigeria! This problem will simply keep growing. Not only are there no consequences to terrorism, it also pays handsomely. It’s sad.
“Maybe Buhari should just establish Ministry of Ransom Negotiation, Payment & Documentation,” Bukarti stated.
