When Lawan and the rubber stamp Senate are saying that paying ransom to kidnappers is now a crime. I pity the photographer.

The rate of insecurity in this country has risen sporadically all these past few days. The confidence at which these bandits grows is now alarming because, with the way it is being handled, it is predictive to note that the worse is yet to come.

Man government has failed us and thus it is a case of "every man for himself, God for us all". Human life has seen lost its value since the inception of this government.

I pray that he will be found in good health so that he can reunite with his family


God will help those who help themselves.....be prepared for the worst that is yet to come.

We pray he returns in one piece.

And some people are still dying for all these failed political parties.

If kidnappers could kidnap a Military General, how much more a photographer?

They guy was the one that told his friends to kidnap him . How can real kidnappers in aba know that he is a photographer at Ebonyi state. Something is fishy here

I hope ipob terrorists will not cannibalize him

It's a pity. Everything has collapsed with this burukutu-drinking, gworo-chewing idi0ts at the helm of affairs. Do not sell your votes because of $100 from the desperate opolo-eyed criminal who will totally be at the beck and call of his almajiri masters, should he emerge president. To be forewarned is to be forearmed

You are just saying nonsense. Your brain should have tell you that Tinubu can not be a puppet to anyone. Did you see the way he lambasted Buhari last week Thursday?

Anyway, we are not voting for another Fulani man in 2023. No be only Fulani get Nigeria.

Wonderful... The development has really started in AfghanEastern. Welcome to AfghanEastern! The Igbo enclave of the rich and famous... The all knowing land of the Nigerian Jews

Kidnappers are having a field day.

Amazing

very fishy. e surprise me too. A photographer isn't under pensionable payroll of the state.

The kidnappers may not even have known his status yet. But with this reportage, they now know the amount of ransom to demand.

Enact a law granting death penalty for all kidnappers and corrupt government officers and see Nigeria return to some level of normalcy.

Don't like do rubber stamp lawan, but he is absolutely right on dis, Paying ransome & protection money is what's embolding these criminal, if they don't get paid, they can't buy guns & bullets, then even vigilantes can easily wipe them out...But if people keep paying, they would just get stronger till they start kidnapping whole villages as they have more weapons

He was kidnapped around the same spot the just released clergy who paid 100m was also kidnapped.
The fed govt in collusion with its Fulani soldiers will not say anything
