What is the problem between Mbaka and Peter Obi?
Outspoken Catholic priest, Ejike Mbaka, has debunked reports that he released fresh prophecies against the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Mr Mbaka, had in June, prophesied that Mr Obi would not win the 2023 presidential election because he is a “stingy man”.5 Oct 2022

No to old banknotes for vote-buying
No to old banknotes for vote-buying
By Rafiq Raji on February 14, 2023

Any decision that brings back the old banknotes in Nigeria is a bad one. Nigeria’s central bank should print just enough new banknotes and strengthen the country’s e-payment infrastructure. Well-meaning Nigerians should support the demonetization policy.

“Whether we acknowledge it or not, money is a conduit of power,” writes Georgetown university professor Stefan Eich in his 2022 book “The currency of politics: The political theory of money from Aristotle to Keynes.” Nigerians know as much now. They must wonder at the newfound enthusiasm of subnational state governors for the masses over the palpable shortage of new banknotes, which came into effect in early February. State governors met Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president, to voice their concerns about the scarcity of the new currency in early February.

Dissatisfied with Mr. Buhari’s seeming ambivalence, a couple of them went to the supreme court, which in its wisdom ordered for a pause till mid-February, when it will consider the case. I shall not delve into the matters of law, albeit many senior lawyers have not been able to hide their bewilderment at the court’s ruling, which effectively extends the period for which the old banknotes will be legal tender by an extra five days.

Mr. Buhari has been clear about his intent. Even though the central bank’s motivation for the demonetization policy is a desire for a cashless economy, the intent of Mr Buhari, who as president, is the approving authority by law, is primarily to prevent vote-buying in the upcoming 2023 general elections from late-February to about mid-March. And unlike the popular perception, the policy was likely first signalled by Mr Buhari, who as military head of state did the same thing to rein in corrupt politicians and government officials.

Many notable Nigerians have been offering their views about the new currency, especially in light of the shortage of the new banknotes. Banks do not seem to have been particularly enthused about the naira re-design, as they did not demonstrate a sense of urgency, nor did they prevent highly-placed politicans from acquiring disproportionate sums of the new banknotes. In fact, one state governor was able to have N500m of the new banknotes shipped to him.

It is highly unlikely that this was unique to only one governor of the 36 subnational state executives Nigeria has. We know at least one state governor had that much cash sent to him because Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna state, revealed it during his media advocacy marathon for the old banknotes to be allowed to remain legal tender for a bit longer. That is an understatement actually. If Mr El-Rufai has his way, he would prefer the old banknotes remain legal tender for another four years. Incidentally, the man whose views are probably the most objective and insightful in this regard are those of Mr El-Rufai’s close friend, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the former governor of Nigeria’s central bank.

Mr. Sanusi was recently asked about the demonetization exercise of Godwin Emefiele, his successor and incumbent governor of the central bank, during one of his regular Islamic sermons (Mr Sanusi is a Sufi order leader in Nigeria). Mr Sanusi affirms his support for the policy, having initiated the policy himself in 2012, amid similar uproar too at the time. In other words, the CBN’s demonetization efforts are a decade old this year.

Tuale For Mr President.

Nigeria ranks among the kidnapping hotspots of the world.

Over 3,000 people were kidnapped in Nigeria in the first half of 2021 alone. The figure for January 2022 has been reported as 571.

In just one example, the head of the Methodist Church in Nigeria was kidnapped by gunmen in Abia State in May.

This practice has evolved among the bandits and terrorists of northern Nigeria, militants and cultists in the Niger Delta as well as the ritual-killers of the western and eastern parts of the country.

My research explored the nature of this threat and the factors accounting for its current upswing.

Nigeria’s banditry crisis is a complicated situation with a number of interests, motives and actors. Some criminals are opportunistic, others organised. Militants, terrorists and insurgents use banditry to raise funds for their operations and as a bargaining strategy.

Kidnapping for ransom thrives in Nigeria because the material incentive and opportunity are there, and victims find it expedient to pay ransom.

In my view, the solutions lie in removing incentives, creating stricter deterrents, more effective policing and greater vigilance.

Types of kidnapping
Kidnapping is the act of holding a person captive in order to make them offer something in return for their release. The motivation may be economic, political, or ideological.

There are different patterns of kidnapping, among them kidnap for ransom, kidnap for ritual, kidnap for strategic bargain, and child abduction.

In Nigeria, the main form has been kidnap for ransom. It was estimated that over US$18 million was paid as ransom in Nigeria between January 2011 and March 2020.

This form of kidnapping is often carefully planned, organised, and carried out. Most of its victims have been prominent personalities and rich men who are believed by the perpetrators to posses the material substance and capital to pay ransom.

It usually starts with profiling a target to determine their ransom value. That value includes how much money the kidnapper can get, and the social strategic worth of the target or their family.

For instance, the child of a wealthy family has a high kidnap ransom value. The only child of an affluent household has even greater value.

Wealthy individuals and their relations have high kidnap ransom value. This is also true of strategic members of corporate organisations and networks that are believed to be well to do. The expectation is that members of a wealthy family, network or organisation are in a position to raise funds to release the kidnapped person.

There are, however, instances of kidnap for ransom where opportunistic criminals abduct vulnerable individuals, without profiling targets. This often yields lower ransom returns.

Kidnapping for ritual purposes also happens in Nigeria. There have been incidents of kidnappers dealing in body parts and capturing victims for sacrifices. Perpetrators may waylay their victims or entrap them through frauds, scams and phantom business trips.

The sporadic discoveries of dismembered human bodies in hotels, shrines, construction sites, river-lines, and forests in various parts of Nigeria attest to this form of kidnapping.

In the Niger Delta region, militants and pirates have taken hostages to extract ransom and for coercive bargaining. The tactic is used to force the government or oil multinational firms to come to terms with certain strategic demands or concerns of the militants and their allied clandestine groups.

The insurgents and terrorists operating in parts of northern Nigeria have also used this tactic to force the government to grant them strategic concessions.

Sometimes they have abducted commuters or school children en masse. A recent report by UNICEF indicates that 1,436 children were abducted in Nigeria between 2020 and 2022.

There have been cases of children being taken in cities and rural areas. Criminals sometimes contact their parents for a ransom. In some instances, the children are abducted for ritual purposes or illicit adoption. Young pregnant women have also been held captive to “harvest” their babies.

Why kidnapping is on the upswing
The drivers of kidnapping risk in Nigeria today include the upsurge in organised armed violence by non-state actors, the increasing trend of ritual criminality, the economics of ransom, and criminal opportunism.

The opportunity and incentive for committing a crime is far greater than its risks or hazards. In Nigeria, only a few criminals are ever arrested and prosecuted.

The capacity of the state agencies to detect and deter crime is abysmal. In most instances, state security operatives fail to respond to occasions of kidnapping promptly and rapidly.

They also lack the technical ability to track kidnappers and their movements. Consequently, criminals carry on with impunity.

Kidnapping in Nigeria has become a matter of national emergency, and ought to be treated as such.

The public should be vigilant and reduce their vulnerability. But government must rise to its first and prime calling - protecting the security of lives and property. The government should be proactive and decisive in fighting kidnapping.

Based on my research, I have three recommendations:

The remote areas of Nigeria where some of these crimes occur should be “governed” through a pragmatic community policing strategy.

Deterrence should be stronger, stiffer and more decisive – such as the death penalty. The existing punishment of ten years (maximum) is not a deterrent.

Payment of kidnap ransom should be discouraged, and possibly criminalised, to remove the incentive to kidnap people. The example of the United States, where all forms of ransom-related transactions are outlawed, is instructive.

On Friday, police officers in Kansas City, Missouri, repeatedly shot a woman in a store parking lot even after she told them she couldn’t get on the ground because she was pregnant. A witness who spoke with the Kansas City Star said the woman, 26-year-old Leonna Hale, had her hands up moments before the officers fired their weapons.

Hale had been sitting in a car outside a Family Dollar store when officers ordered her to get out, according to the witness, a mother named Shé Danja who had gone to the store with her children to get gas and ice cream. The officers suspected that Hale and a man inside the vehicle might have been involved in a carjacking in a neighboring city, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The man exited the vehicle, jumped a fence, and ran as officers chased him, according to Shé Danja. She watched Hale, who is Black, step out of the car with her hands raised in the air. When officers ordered Hale to get on the ground, Hale told them she couldn’t because she was pregnant, according to Shé Danja. Hale added that there was a gun in the car, and began inching backward as officers approached her with their weapons drawn. She then ran three steps away from the officers, who responded by shooting her five times, according to Shé Danja. (Sgt. Andrew Bell of the Highway Patrol told me that a medical examination would need to be conducted to determine how many times Hale was shot.) Hale seemed “scared at them all coming towards her with guns in her face,” Shé Danja later wrote on Facebook.

It’s unclear whether Hale was armed. The Highway Patrol’s Bell told local reporters on Friday that a “suspect” handgun was discovered in the parking lot after the shooting, but he did not specify then whether Hale herself had a weapon. Bell told me on Tuesday that Hale did have a gun in her hand when she was shot. “We know for a fact that she was armed,” he said.

It’s worth adding that there have been many incidents around the country of the police lying or providing misleading information to the public after they shoot or injure people, though it’s not clear they did so in Hale’s case. (Not too long ago, a prosecutor accused Kansas City cops of falsely claiming that Cameron Lamb, a 26-year-old Black man, was armed when they fatally shot him in 2019.) The witness, Shé Danja, said Hale was not holding a gun. “She did not pull out a weapon on them,” Shé Danja told the Star. “She did not even have a stick in her hand.”

Video footage filmed by Shé Danja appears to show Hale lying on the ground after the shooting with blood on her shirt as an officer handcuffed her. When Shé Danja repeatedly asked the officers why they fired their weapons, they did not answer. More than a few minutes went by before Hale was offered any assistance, Shé Danja said. The Highway Patrol’s Bell could not confirm or deny that allegation, but said the agency would know more after evaluating body camera footage. “We will have a lot more detail in the coming days, weeks,” he said, adding that footage of police shootings aren’t normally released to the public during an investigation, but that the prosecutor’s office could release it later.
