The Eselu of Iseluland, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Oba Ebenezer Akinyemi, has asked the National Assembly to facilitate the release of Leah Sharibu and others in kidnappers’ dens before criminalising payment of ransom.
The monarch described the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Bill, 2021 which has scaled second reading at the Senate as a misplaced priority, unpopular and needless.
