Kidnapping: Action Aid faults bill to criminalise payment of ransom - Punch Newspapers

He said, “Do you know what it means to have your children in the hands of these demons and you say we should not pay when the system cannot protect us? It is children we are talking about here, not animals. These are molesters, you cannot allow your children to stay with them for any moment any longer.

“That idea being mooted by the National Assembly that ransom should not be paid, I am saying emphatically that they are joking. We should push the game back to where we should push it to. We should blame the system that cannot protect children. We should blame the system that cannot shield and give adequate protection to teachers.

“Look at what mothers go through at childbirth. Look at what women and fathers go through for them to raise these children. For the sake of giving them a better tomorrow, they are to be educated, and some miscreants go there and pick them like snails. That’s unacceptable and we cannot take that.” The Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission, Tony Ojukwu, in his opening address at the event stated that this year’s commemoration brings into focus the domestic legislations and policies on child’s rights and the level of their implementation.

“While progress has been made on the implementation of the Child Rights Act/Laws across the States that have adopted it, challenges bordering on non-prioritization of child rights in the budget, poverty, harmful traditional practices, inadequate access to educational and health services, armed conflicts and more recently, the COVID 19 pandemic have continued to slow down the progress across all sectors,” he said.
