The source from which ransom was paid for the release of Ngozi Okonjo Iwuala's mum should be the source from which Nkiru should regain her freedom. There should be no double standard here. Kidnapping has become the opium of Nigeria and an important instrument of redistribution of income. Nkieu's life is worth more than N100 MILLION.
