“We are all concerned about this phenomenon of kidnappings which we’ve not known; our brothers and sisters in Nigeria have known that. We have not known it in this country and we need to do something about it to make sure it doesn’t become a feature of our society. I am very very determined on the issue and decisions are being taken as we speak that will be a clear manifestation of the determination I have to deal with this matter.” he stated.
