Iamoilprince: That's d kinda case SSS will investigate, but if its dat of a poor man dey will forget it!

TellBlazer: kidnappers dey mad? Why dem go kidnap poor man?

dont8: Onuoha, the native doctor, explained that he provided charms and herbal fortification for the kidnap gang because he was afraid they may harm him and his family if he did not cooperate with them

tochman: What . My assistant course rep back then in school. This must be a joke

K0ala7: Let me play devil's advocate here since we can already see that our security can work if the 'right' people are concerned.

Now, this report tells me that you can kidnap a relative of the sitting president, or any political leader in Nigeria, really, and get away with it for the better half a year...

So what hope is there for a person who travels through Aba and is kidnapped for 100k to 500k..?

PS: I am a Yoruba boy, Port-Harcourt bred. So I have a pretty good idea of that side of the country from my 14-year stay.

ChrisOD:


Many have been kidnapped in Ogun, Oyo and Lagos for 1 kobo.

Blockus: All of nothing.

They kidnapped the Presidents uncle and released him without ransome showing that they clearly didn't plan their operation all the way through. Now they are surely going to die and it's all for nothing.

delishpot:


Na which bank dem want take collect the ransom? If say dem dare ask for money dem for don start the suffer head tey tey.
Dem for sell their mama amd papa take refumd that ransome

datguru: Listen to that evil native doctor, he provided them charms for protection because he was afraid of his family getting hurt, why not use the charms and protect yourself and your family against this boys?

Truckpusher: He is just too dumb to understand what awaits him.

kingjoe: you mean it...i thank God the opaluwa sisters are ok.when it happened,I heard the news on nairand.coinciding with when I was reading his book for my postgraduate,I mean the sisters father.i prayed for the family,now the culprits have been caught,thanks to God.can you imagine,their own security man,under their payroll organized this.terrible

Blockus:


No self respecting kidnapper uses a Bank for ransome. Infact, they dont even collect the ransome in Naira.

delishpot:

My point is, they cant collect that money. No way . Even the money will trail them. Will they ask for it to be dropped off? Sent to a foreign acct? Who dem want send go collect am? ATM? Credit card? Well unless Goodluck no get better link with security ops. If not, that money go be like winch wey dey follow person from village to obodo oyinbo.
Even if dem see am collect, dem for sell their organs take repay that ransome.
I know kidnappers ussualy dont use banks. I know that.
I know their style is drop it there and wait for a call after we confirm the cash we call you and tell you where to pick your uncle. But I tell you e for no work for them.
If you doubt me, go try the uncles second kidnapp lets see how it goes.
If e work biko na only 2% I want.

Blockus:


i sabi plenty people wey dem don carry wholesale wey dem pay ransom to bail and none of them ever pay through bank except the ones wey wan collect you sharply and those ones, Na their victims ATM dem dey use and dem dey collect the bar even before police sabi say the person don miss.

These guys ask for money, but the heat wey follow the guy for back strong Na ehn make dem quick quick release am without bail.

But wetin I dey try talk that time be say if you go through all the wahala to kidnap the first uncle, just follow it through because wether you release with or without money, government no go forgive you. The prison sentence no go change at all because dem release am without ransome.

delishpot:

True talk. Na the heat wey you menton sef naim make me say dem for no fit collect that money lol.
But true true sha, dem for still try see if maga for pay. My only concern be say if dem still do gra gra ask for money, na that money payment dem for use catch dem dat is to say dem for catch dem earlier or at least probability to catch them for high pass during that cash transfer moment abi na ransome payment moment.
But who knows, maybe dem for succeed to collect their share of national cake sha.
