Islamic scholar, Ahmad Gumi, has disclosed why bandits are yet to release the abducted students of Greenfield University who were kidnapped about two months ago in Kaduna State.
According to him, the students were yet to be released due to the bandits’ link with Boko Haram insurgents.
Gumi made the disclosure while speaking with Channels Television on Sunday.
He noted that the Boko Haram terrorists have infiltrated the field of abduction.
It would be recalled that the bandits had attacked the private university located in Kaduna State on April 17 and abducted about 20 students.

While some of the students regained freedom, the bandits had killed five.
“The Greenfield abduction is unique because for the first time we saw a cooperation between some bandits and Boko Haram elements which confirm that Boko Haram are encroaching into the field, which is a bad situation,” the cleric said.
Gumi further disclosed that the Boko Haram had reached out to the abductors of hundreds of students of Government Science College in Kankara, Katsina State, last year with an offer that the schoolboys be sold to them as they could bargain better for ransom.
The cleric added that the bandits, however, rejected the offer and eventually released the students after negotiations.
