Nigerian Soldiers Busted For Sharing In N100 Million Ransom Paid By Deji Oyewumi by Move2(m): 2:15pm On Jul 27, 2022

Peoples Gazette has been informed that Nigerian soldiers took cuts in the ransom paid by one of the passengers seized by bandits who intercepted a Kaduna-bound train on March 28.

Deji Oyewunmi, a manager at Iris Smart Technologies
an immigration contractor in charge of international passport printing and distribution, was one of the three victims released on Monday by armed groups after paying a N100 million ransom. It was unclear how much the other victims paid, but one of them said the Buhari regime had no input in the efforts that yielded his release.

The Gazette learnt that Mr Oyewunmi’s firm raised N60 million, while the remaining N40 million came from a coalition of friends and family. At least two people directly involved in the fund-raising and release activities
told The Gazette anonymously how Nigerian soldiers shared in the ransom.

“After we did all the consultations and we arranged. the
N100 million cash for the bandits, we met some Nigerian soldiers at several checkpoints leading to the forests in Kajuru, and they
collected large amounts ranging from N100,000 to N220,000,” a source familiar with the matter said. “They were boldly telling us that it was their share of the ransom and the bandits would understand.”

“We were short about N700,000 from the N100 million by the time we got to the bandits,” the source added. “We were all ashamed that Nigerian soldiers had the audacity to openly collect their own share because they were laughing
and mocking us at the checkpoints that it was their own share of the ransom we were taking to the bandits.”

Another source said some of the soldiers
sympathised with the victims and their relatives affected by the mass abduction but said they had also been in the trenches for months without adequate
supplies.

“Some of the soldiers said they were sent to guard the forests in Niger, Kaduna and other states because of bandits but they were not properly armed and no food for them,” the source said. “They said the military generals abandoned them in the forests to the awareness of even the bandits.”
A spokesman for the Nigerian Army did not return requests seeking comments regarding what the headquarters might have been told about the extortion
activities and welfare of soldiers deployed in the troubled North-West.

This is the kind of shitty story that puts that junk of an online news media, People'sGazette in trouble.
Is it that easy to carry ₦100m cash about and be openly displaying it to soldiers at checkpoints,when any reasonable person knows there maybe some security operatives at these checkpoints who,having seen the cash could quickly organise for it to be stolen b4 it gets to the bandits?
Anyway,it's people that read trash stories from PG that are being made to look like f ools.
