Former commandant of the defence intelligence college, Abuja, Commodore Kunle Olawunmi (Rtd) has faulted politicians for toying with matters of national security, stating that they do not have the capacity to interpret intelligence report.

 

Olawunmi speaking during an interview, claimed that the government cannot prove that ransom was not paid to secure the release of the schoolchildren abducted from LEA Primary School and Government Secondary School, Kuriga, about two weeks ago.

 

In a televised broadcast yesterday, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani while announcing the rescue of the schoolchildren, insisted that the method employed to carry out the operation was not important, but the safety of 137 children vindicates the government.

 

The governor also said Kaduna-based Muslim cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, was not involved in the safe return of the pupils, though the cleric had offered to negotiate with bandits for the release of the pupils.
