Harrison Gwamnishu: Man's concern stirs reactions

Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the man's post below:

Ifeanyichukwu Frank Ezeh said:

"If the man don't survive with kidnappers, the family of the man Will hold Harrison gwamnishu responsible. Assume Harrison didn't divert the money, the man would have been out by now.
"Doing good doesn’t cancel out wrongdoing. You can’t use past kindness to cover present corruption. Activism is not immunity from accountability. If we keep defending people just because they once helped us, then we are part of Nigeria’s problem. Until we learn to separate good deeds from criminal acts, this country will never move forward.
"My question is what if those kidnappers didn't cross-checked the money, will Harrison accept or tell the family that he didn't pay all of the ransom, will he open up that he diverted part of the ransom."
