He said:

… these people who are claiming to have been abducted are not giving relevant information to assist the police so that the issues are resolved.

We are asking these terrorists and abductors if they could assist the country move forward by stopping what they are doing so that the image of the country is not tarnished. That way the country’s image may be rated better.
