Good law, ransome to terrorists means you are funding them to buy big guns and bombs to kill Nigerians and kidnap them.

This is highly commendable..even though it was copied from Ukraine.

God bless Senator Ezenwa Francis Onyewuchi
God bless Alaigbo
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Did you read well? May be you should read again. Its all bull crap comparing Nigeria to US and UK when the living conditions are not even similar. Your person is kidnapped and you pay ransom for your person release and you jailed for 15 years because you paid kidnappers to release your person. Do you now understand? This is stupid mehn.

Please what has he done to warrant this praise singing? Is that the solution to the problem of banditry??

Instead of addressing the root cause of the problem like unemployment, poverty, injustice , et al. They are applying cosmetic approach to solving the insecurity in Nigeria.

The same government paying ransom to free kidnapped girls and boys in the north is the one proposing a ban on ransom payment, even this same senator proposing this useless bill will not hesitate to pay ransom should his son or daughter be kidnapped today.

I know they copied this idea from other countries without taking into account our peculiarities. Abeg, that bill should be thrown out of the door.
Sincerely, we need this kinda law..but firstly, something urgent should be done about the current security situation.

This is foolishness at its peak.
Now, I understand why many Nigerians don't have hope in this country. Most Nigerian leaders are very incompetent. They just go into politics in order to improve their social lives.
You are not better than them!


Lately, it's alleged that many state governments have been paying ransom secretly to bandits. It's better to save lives and lose money than do otherwise.
This is why we don't grow as a country. You want to continue encouraging kidnappers while at the same time want them
to stop. You can't have it both ways. The kidnappers would be stupid to stop when they are guaranteed
free money and control over their victims.


Until the security agencies are able to handle the worsening Insecurity in Nigeria, government at all levels must continue to pay ransom to secure the release of innocent victims.
What does the bold mean?
When all kidnappers are killed or no more kidnapping?

This is myopic.
If you think guns only can solve kidnapping, you are wrong.
Ransom is the oil for kidnapping, any smart person knows that.

Any one who pay ransom secretly to kidnappers should be jailed.

Steal more than N10,000 and go to prison mandatory for 10 years. N100,000 = Death penalty.

How about that Sinators?.

There would be no demand for kidnapping if the value dissappears,in other words, if people stop paying there would be no incentive to kidnap.

Lmao �. These bastards in power are just showcasing their crass stupidity . For the fact that it passed the 2nd reading means they are all clueless retards .
You can’t push a bill that will remove the IG of police if he can’t stop or reduce the spate of killings and kidnapping . They can’t start impeachment proceedings to remove Buhari . They can’t restructure the whole country .
But they want to imprison people that want to save their loved ones that the government has refused to secure .
They are saying “ransom is making kidnapping lucrative “ yet provide alternative employment for the youth , mba ! Create conducive environment for businesses to thrive so they can employ more people , mba !
Even almighty DSS will tell you to go and pay ransom when if someone you love gets kidnapped . Nonsense people

Good point you have there. On the flip side, I also think it even makes kidnapping more attractive because the family of the victims would no longer report cases of kidnapping since they will also be guilty of a crime whenever they make payments. So people may not report any kidnapping especially when payment has been made and victims released. Everybody has an incentive to keep quiet.

What a country.

African leaders are subhumans. There’s no way they’re the same humans as white people.

Rather than passing public execution by hanging for kidnappers, they want to cause more despair and hopelessness.

So if anyone is kidnapped, it’s over. What police force do we have?


This is why nigeria has no hope. Instead of rising to the security challenge with a revamped security and legislative framework that greatly increases the risk of kidnapping against the rewards, the senators are now trying to shift the blame and responsibility to Nigerians.

This shows that the govt has ZERO solutions both now and in the future because they are only skilled at looting.

How can you victimise the victim?

Is there anybody that is happy to be paying kidnappers his hard-earned money?

Why not sack any DPO where kidnapping takes place?

Why not assure Nigerians that kidnapping will never occur in any state of the Nation?

Why not say, the military force will declare war on all kidnappers

Why not legislate life imprisonment for all kidnappers.


Why victimising the family of the victim.

This country lacks good thinking people

FarahAideed:


It's sounds cruel but it's the only solution to stopping this kidnapping menace .. Kidnapping is the worst vice any society can pick up

Completely disagree..

That can only be effective when security is beefed up beyond ethnic/religious /socioeconomic divides.

and kidnapping groups or perpetrators are penalised visibly to dissuade others from criminality.

Then people trust that the system works.

Given the poorly veiled genocide that has ravaged this country for the past 2-3 yrs,
Expecting people to trust this highly partisan government, is foolhardy.
