Nigeria record over 2.2m kidnap cases in year, 2.2 trillion paid as Ransom.

[Olotu20]

When I came across this news I thought it was one of those social media Cruz. But I did some research and found out that it's no Cruz but the fact according to the national bearue of statistics. That Nigeria recorded a record of over two point two million number of kidnapping cases with over two point two trillion naira paid as Ransom. This was stated by a security expart, Prof. Oyesoji Aremu when he presented a lecture which was organized by the social science student association of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Ondo State, where he examined Nigeria’s current security situation.

This is very alarming from what I can see from the statistics kidnapping and hostage taking is now one big sector in the country that is very lucrative. If government don't do anything serious about this present situation Nigeria soon become a law less country that, it will be difficult for anyone to moves out as a citizen.

The sad reality is that no strategic decision is taken to cub the spreading trend of insecurity in the country, the Nigerian government is so corrupt that they are yet to equip the military to be able to combat this alarming security challenges instead there focus is just how to win the 2027 election, to the Nigerian politicians everything is about politics, the lives of innocent Nigerians don’t matter to them, to tell you how wicked the government is they prefer to pay ransom to terrorist rather than invest in the military.

The most annoying part is that even when this terrorist are caught instead of them to prosecute them the government prefers to grant them amnesty and re-inject the same terrorist into the military thereby making the military porous, they even release some of them at times without prosecution just because one big man call, even most of the ransom is shared by some top Nigerians because a wise man once said that any insurgency that last beyond 48hours that the government has a hand in it, it’s actually a shame that Nigeria has gotten to this point, please let everyone be on the watch out since the government have failed.

[Exitoral]

This shouldn't surprise you at all. Was it Babadinga that said if an insurgence last more than a day, the government hand is in it. Gbam. There you have your answer. The government hand is in it. For something this life threatening not to concern the president, it is either his cabal is the one doing it or someone else he knows that is doing it. Keep calm. Nigeria is not ready to take her country from this criminals hands. When we dey ready, we go know. Case closed.

Yeah man, it is a very lucrative business for the political masterminds who still come to the media to claim they have your interests at heart, meanwhile they're the same people sponsoring the insecurities in the country. Aside from hostage taking and kidnapping, there is another niche which is organ harvesting. Accounts of some kidnapped victims has revealed dat some people kidnapped are solely done to harvest their organs and now the organ harvesters look out for people who neither smoke nor use hard drugs so they can profit from selling their fresh organs for profits.

It is really alarming going on the numbers of kidnaps cases and the amount that have been paid for ramson. This is very bad for a country,  because it just shows that we are not safe anymore and the government is not doing anything to change the situation.  I truly believe that people in power or influential people in the society are behind this issue, because I don't understand how some set of people will choose to terrorize a country for more than 16 years and the government is not doing anything to stop it or even reduce their activities, but rather it keeps increasing by the day. Nigerian is definitely one of the worst place to be right now, because you don't know what will happen to you in the next minute.  It's really bad that we have those that calls themselves our leaders and they are not doing anything to stop this issue,  rather they sit back and watch us die.

[Sulegzy39]

Given the frequency of kidnapping incidents and the price paid for Ramson, the situation is quite concerning. This is incredibly awful for a country because it just indicates that we are no longer safe, and the government is doing nothing to remedy the situation. I truly believe that people in positions of power or influence in society are behind this issue, because I don't understand how some people can choose to terrorise a country for more than 16 years and the government does nothing to stop or even reduce their activities, but rather they continue to grow by the day.

Nigeria is undoubtedly one of the worst places to be right now since you never know what will happen to you in the next minute.  It's truly unfortunate that those who call themselves our leaders are doing nothing to address this issue, instead sitting back and watching us die.

So this money now be say na him our government claim say them use save people life for this country? If security dey this country all these things no go happen and I believe that nothing like kidnapping go dey happen any time unless say na rich person or pikin them kidnap for money, all those money wey dey claim to pay kidnappers i can swear say the money dey go the government hand back, I never see anything like this before and the reason why i believe government too get hand for all these things be say they wan claim say them use money for important things and at the end na them still dey pay the kidnappers dey kill people dey reduce population and squandering our money.

I no go ever believe all these stories wey them dey talk i no believe am at all because even as they claim say them they save people from kidnappers hand na so people dey die every day and the kidnapping no stop, they want our voting na why they want tell us say they spend that kind money, how much they don borrow for world bank wey dey wan use this one dey lie for us?

Nigeria is a country where the government don’t care about the citizens and so I’m not surprised with the high level of kidnappings happening in the country, every day in this country I hear about kidnapping especially going to schools to kidnap children, recently they went to a particular school and kidnapped children and teachers of the school and killed one of the teachers i watched it on video like the video is everywhere in the country and I believe everyone in this country has seen the video and the government is not doing anything about it and till date the teachers and the children are still in the bush.
This our country done finish.

Security under this administration is very alarming and it keeps getting worse by the day with nothing done till now. Rather the government find comfort in pointing fingers at oppositions saying they’re the cause of it and they’re doing it deliberately to deny him his second tenure. This is the first citizen of the federation whom every sector of the country is in his hands which he can do and undo at anytime. The government of the country is very corrupt and not paying attention to where attention is deem more fit.

These statistics doesn’t lie because we’ve witnessed a high number of kidnapping in this administration and even with some paying the ransom, they get killed. This is how bad the security situation in the country is, the government needs to take decisive actions to make sure that they bring urgent security measures back to bring peace back in the country. No blame games should be expected from the government, when you see one bad, take action immediately.

That kidnapping matter don tire me and to be honest waiting all they talk about the money wey them spend na lie, I no believe the matter at all because where Nigeria get two trillion naira from wey they go use pay kidnappers? From my own point of view na still those government dey sponsored the kidnappers because i don’t see any reason why those kidnappers are still in Nigeria, with the forces and army wey we get I believe that those kidnappers will be scared to stay in Nigeria.

The reason why be say i still believe those kidnappers are sponsored by the government is because how those kidnappers still get access to social media and no one can track them? And all those kidnappers and still Nigerians with a good weapon that is better than our army own, there is nothing government fit talk wey go make people believe them because them the leaders are the problem of Nigeria.

[Jubilee58]

This is something very crazy about this country Nigeria. There is always kidnapping news almost every day. Kidnapping is now a business in Nigeria, a way of making money. This is actually very uncalled for, and they most annoying part of this is that this set of people who kidnap don't only kidnap the rich people who eat Public money, but including those who work very hard to earn their money. In this country Nigeria it is always very hard to hear or see that politicians are being kidnapped or even their children, these politicians who eat public money, and even cause hardship in the country.

This is part of insecurity that the innocent Nigerians face, and is as a result of maladministration that has lead to this uncontrollable kidnapping. Only God will help us out.

You shouldn't be surprised because that's what the government wants and they are getting it, like the former President Olusegun Obasanjo once told us that once insurgency last more than 48 hours just know that the government is behind it and I have seen every bit of truth in that statement. If not so, tell me why Tinubu won't mobilize the military to combat this terrorist and end their reign but what he does is to call them and negotiate with them and pay ransom afterwards, this are blood thirsty individuals that has no human sympathy and conscience yet he recruits them into the society.

In Nigeria now, if you want to get rich quickly just go into kidnapping and in few months time you will become a successful millionaire while the government watch innocent citizens being killed without making any moves to stop banditory, this country has become lawless and everyone does what he or she likes and go scout free, just imagine bandits making videos without covering their faces and the government won't do anything about it. Our country is getting worse and we need to vote for changes.

[Roseline492]

Does the statistics include the money individuals also paid own there own for the release of there family members or it was all the ones the government paid?, if it was the government I thought they usually don't engage on ransoms with terrorist?. This statistics might not actually be complete because there are so many kidnapping going on in the rural parts of this country and the government wouldn't no because in Nigeria they don't mostly go to the police again to report kidnapping because they cannot do anything but will instead tell the person that's reporting to pay them some amounts of money before they will start any search so actually the family whom there person was kidnapped only deal with there problem alone, so if they investigate down they would have so many numbers to add with this total.

[Ishicryptic]

Cases of kidnappings have taken a new turn with the clear confidence of kidnapers to be negotiating ransom online and we claim that we have forces and military intelligence, it is a big shame that the Nigerian system have failed the ordinary citizens of this country. How else can we discribe the confidence and audacity of terrorist to enter a community and take their time to go round schools to kidnap teachers and pupils and you will wonder if our military were not contacted or they were waiting for orders before they will show up and fight the terrorists.

This Tinubu, government has failed Nigerians and anybody that thinks otherwise is an enemy of those that have been killed and kidnapped, kidnapping is now a very lucrative business in this country. It is very shameful that a failed government is not hiding their face in shame but have the confidence to campaign for re-election. Nigeria, matter don tire me I no go lie, I just tire.

The government don't have the intentions of ending killings and kidnapping within the country. They main focus is organising campaigns for their re elections in 2027. It has gotten to the point where bandits don't hide their faces anymore as some of them now flaunt ransome money on titok and Snapchat still government haven't tracked their locations and arrest them. The government is gambling with the lives of Nigerians by sponsoring banditry through the back door. Concerning the video that was circulating on the internet, the man beheaded was a teacher in a government school in oyo,the man was killed to send a message to the government buy to my greatest surprise,the school wasn't shutdowns as students were seen coming to schools with machete. The state government and people of oyo should brace up and defend their lands against this kidnappers because waiting for the federal government will resort to more bloodshed.

[Rockson1]

When we are discussing about how kidnapping has now become something else in Nigeria, some people see it as though it is politically motivated but it unfortunate situation that needs urgent attention, the worst part of it now is if the kidnappers as for ransom and it is not given to them fast, they will kill the victims, in some cases whether ransom is been paid or not, they will still kill the victims, no one is safe, to my southern brothers and sisters we need to peak up very loud because the insecurity is increasing everyday, let's not relax and think that it will reach here, some part of south east and south west are already feeling the heat and who said some villages in south south are exempted, they rate at which this insecurity is going, is not handled, many cities and town in Nigeria will be captured, we know about some villages been captured in the north east, these guys might extend, if we continue like this, the kidnapping will now be like the perpetrators visiting people in their houses and ordering them to follow them in a broad day light.

[Nathrixxx]

I still wonder what is what celebrating when there are over 46 children out there being kidnapped by insurgent and we are still celebrating children's day when some are in agony, rendered helpless and taking away from their precious family to the sterved in the bush, yet it is over 12 days now and the government is not helping with the situation to apprehend this insurgent that are still in the bush with those children, now you will see people making campaign here and there in support of the incoming election when others don't even bother about this situation of what is going on in the country except they are being affected as well.
