General Christopher Musa just shut down the ransom rumors hard because the federal administration refuses to cut checks for terrorists. The Minister of Defence clarified during a sit-down that official policy strictly forbids negotiating with kidnappers since funding these groups only creates more chaos. He insisted that desperate families privately handle those payments while the state relies on solid intel to launch rescue missions.
The top brass believes handing over cash incentivizes bad actors to grab more victims. He noted that soldiers rush in immediately upon locating targets, which usually scares the bandits away. Those criminals typically abandon their hostages and bolt into the wild once they see uniforms approaching.
He admitted that chasing these guys is tough since Nigeria has a massive land where gangs can easily shift locations when the heat increases. The General wants better barriers at the edge of the nation to stop this movement. He argues that building physical walls would block smugglers and prevent attackers from slipping across international lines.
