Oyogist.com has learned that renowned Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has claimed that the kidnapped students of Greenfield University, Kaduna were abducted by Boko Haram and not bandits.

Gumi Disclosed this in an interview with African Independent Television, Kakaaki, AIT on Tuesday.

He said:

“Yes Boko Haram is responsible for the abduction of Kaduna students. When we tried to trace them and put some sense into them, the contact who is also a nomadic Fulani, threatened me.

“They said if we insist on them they were going to catch me and I will have to pay a ransom before I get out.”

“The leader of the kidnap gang is from Jalingo. He is from Adamawa. He is not the local Fulani we have here. So this means that the Northeastern element is coming into this area and we have to move fast. We don’t have that luxury of time.

“Gumi further called on the Central Bank of Nigeria to pay the N100m ransom being demanded by the kidnappers of the students.
