Repentant bandits in Katsina State have released additional 30 kidnapped victims, following the dialogue initiated by the state government with their leaders.


The victims were presented to Gov. Aminu Masari at the Government House on Sunday in Katsina.

The victims were kidnapped by the bandits from Kankara and Shimfida, both in Jibia Local Government area of the state.

They were thereafter taken to their hideout in Damsadau forest, Zamfara State, where they spent some weeks.

Addressing the victims, Masari said that government would continue to persuade the bandits to release more kidnapped people until all of them were freed.

He directed that the released victims be taken to hospital for medical check up before reuniting them with their respective families.

One of the victims, Zinatu Sani from Kankara, while narrating her ordeal in the hands of the bandits, said that she was kidnapped from her matrimonial home, with two of her children.


She said that the bandits demanded for a N20 million ransom before they could release her and the children.

Sani explained that the ransom was later reduced to N6 million which, she said, her family could still not afford to pay.

She said that the suspected bandits used to give them rice to cook, with only water and salt.


“For 55 days, we slept in an open place without a roof, not minding the rainfall or heat,” she lamented.

Sani expressed appreciation to the governor for securing their release, adding that there were still several other victims in the forest yearning for their release from the bandits.

The returnees were handed over to the Transition Committee Chairmen of Kankara and Jibia local government councils to ensure that they were reunited with their families after medical check up.

D

In the northern part of nigeria, u pamper the bandits, criminals n the terrorists to get favours from them. Then, in the east n the souths, u treat peaceful and armless protesters as terrorists without care.. This is the only country on earth that has the government that doesn't understand what governance is all about..

see this one oo, he should just remain there atleast, he's enjoying rice n salt..

Inside life where life dy chop life eyes.

It's allright

Dey don’t negotiate with terrorist

Gracealone:
We are watching.

The Nigerian government has always acted from the position of weakness against the criminals and bandits.

Approach issues neutrally and you will be marveled at your final discovery.

This country ll implode one day with the way it's being governed.
They arrest, maim and kill law abiding citizens but offer gifts and freedom to criminals

This is now pure business.

Local man cannot can any longer

Nigeria is going through a slow paced systemic failure. Imagine that the Government now has to dialogue with all sorts of criminals, especially if the criminals have sustained their assaults and M.O over a period of time.
I believe all these criminals are backed by highly placed Government/military sources

What happens when they're broke?

These guys simply need to be flushed out using a carrot and stick approach. Be resolute and form and most importantly, have competent security forces able to carry out the task of eradicating them.

Quite repented of them. Anyway thank God for the freed people!

They’re not repentant. Buhari first begged them and appeased them by releasing their detained leaders and members through Masari. The deal involves exchange of detainees on both sides and government complied first. Your shithole is also a failed state.

Criminals hand over their loot and get rewarded with amnesty from government.

Meanwhile honest and innocent youths are hunted and killed by SARS.

Isnt banditry a crime? Isnt kidnap a crime?

Repentant bandit

Aaahhh, babanla nonsense!!!!

Bandits aka Buhari children. If you know, you know

How are dey repentant if d govt negotiated d release? Dis whole kidnapping and banditry is anoda angle by these ppl to keep creating security problems dat will continually require more security votes and more funding for security.. Dis monsters U ppl have succeeded in creating will eventually consume d region wen dey can no longer feed it or tame it

By the time government will not have candy left to offer terrorists, bandits ,kidnappers and etc , we shall see what will become of them.

The government is pampering criminals while punishing law abiding citizens with police ,SARS and Soldiers...
