The bandits, who abducted over 30 persons recently in Maradun Local Government Area, Zamfara State, the country home of the Minister of State, Defence, Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, have demanded the sum of N500 million as ransom.

A resident of the area, Ibrahim Maradun told DAILY POST that all available channels to raise the money have proved abortive as wealthy individuals have not shown any concern to pay the ransom.

“We have wealthy people in the town but they could not risk their wealth for the kidnapped victims to regain their freedom from the notorious bandits”, he stated.

Maradun explained that since the incident happened, both the State government and the security agencies have not made any official statement.

“The State Government has neither visited the town to show sympathy, nor has the Governor delegated any government official to show concern,” he lamented.

Maradun noted that the people of the area revolted against former Governor Matawalle through the ballot box owing to insecurity.

“During the electioneering campaigns, Governor Dauda Lawal assured electorates that if voted into power, he would end banditry activities within 100 days in office.

“But now, the situation is getting worse as bandits’ operations continue to escalate unatated.

“Recently, armed bandits ambushed the operatives of the State’s local security outfit, known as Community Protection Guard, G, killed three of them, injured many and made away with their arms,” he disclosed.

He called on the State Government and the security operatives to intensify more efforts to ensure the release of the kidnapped victims.

These criminals and their sponsors should be crushed. May God help Nigeria.

You mean...

Businessmen Demand N500m hosting fees For hosting 30 Zamfara citizens.

This is absolutely insane.
The past and current government have been TOO SOFT on these terrorists. Just because the kidnappers aren't kidnapping powerful people.

It's absolutely damning.

Any kidnapper should be unalived on the spot. No mercy here.

APC

Kidnapping is more lucrative than oil and gas. If I ever get greedy and desperate, that would be my first option

All these money the Bandits keep demanding can be used to fight terrorism and insecurity.

The other time, they demanded 900million
Now 500million

Ridiculous

Assuming it was school children that they kidnapped by now they would have been entitled to at least N1 Trillion naira as ransome

The ASSETS & ACQUISITIONS department of these zamfara bandits failed in their calculations

Dear Bandits..
The money you demanded is too small..
Make it 5 Billion

they can keep them

Make dem wait make FG collect the first trench of cyber security levy nah...why the rush

My question is who are these bandits ing or negotiating with asking for ransome everytime there is a bandit incidence? How did they get the number of the person these bandits had been speaking to for ransome?

I think something is wrong somewhere. Or is there anything they are not telling us? But why always the Northern part of Nigeria??

I.mean, how do they want to collect such amount of money? Definitely not cash or transfer. Or is it cash? Or crypto?

Just asking.

God help Nigeria
