Lies we tell ourselves

What measures are the Govs putting in place to curb this?
If the President is to solely handle the cases of banditry in all 36states, why then do we vote in Govs?

If they cant guarantee the security of their territories, whats the point having a Gov at all?

Chidalu,try dey talk true

Hypocrite

Did you say this before voting out Goodluck Jonathan in 2015??

Everything you people used to rubbish GEJ government is happening under your nose but you're now defending your ineptitude.

Shame

Since February these women have been in captivity. Well I am not surprised, when govt are making excuses for bandits

Ebola tinupoo the dictator has failed Nigerians... Niger state voted for him oo

These are people's mother, wives and daughters.

While tinubu is busy buying new jets and paying people to defend his clueless government.

No sympathy at all.

Anybody still heartlessly defending this failed tinubu government don't deserve anything good in life

Bandits Release Video Of Niger Women In Captivity, Demand 130 Motorcycles
The kidnappers of 26 women from Allawa Community in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State have released a video featuring two of the captives.

The kidnappers of 26 women from Allawa Community in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State have released a video featuring two of the captives. In the video, the women plead with their families to provide the 130 motorcycles demanded for their release.

The 30-second video, shared with our correspondent, shows one of the women tied to a tree, pleading for her family to deliver the items required by the kidnappers. Speaking in Hausa, she calls on a relative named Abdulrahman to help provide the items.

“Umar, please talk to Abdulrahman. They have brought me to a service area now. They said they cannot release me until the items they demanded are delivered. They said I should talk so that you will hear my voice. I have injuries on my legs. For the sake of Allah and His Prophet, help bring the items. They said if you bring the items, they will release me along with Hajiya. I am here with Hajiya,” she pleaded in the video.

Abba Usman, a resident, confirmed that the women featured in the video are among the 26 kidnapped in February this year. He reported that the families of the two women had already provided six motorcycles, but the kidnappers are now demanding four more motorcycles before the women can be released.

Usman added that the families of the remaining 24 women have informed the bandits that they cannot afford to buy the additional motorcycles. The bandits are demanding five motorcycles for each of the 26 women, with each motorcycle priced at N2 million.

“My mother and my sister were among those kidnapped seven months ago on Allawa-Pandogari Road. On that day, eight men were killed before the women were taken away. The bandits have asked us to provide five motorcycles for each of the 26 women. We couldn’t raise the money, which is why they are still in captivity.

“Recently, they sent a video showing two of the women. The families of these two women provided six motorcycles, but the bandits have now demanded four more motorcycles. They sent the video to confirm that the women are still alive and will be released once the additional motorcycles are provided. For now, we don’t even have anything left to sell to raise money for these motorcycles,” Usman explained.

Meanwhile Gbenu Boknu Yakwo, a Gbagyi socio-cultural group, has called on Niger State governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago to sack the Commissioner for Homeland Security, Brigadier General Bello Abdullahi (RTD), over alleged failures to address worsening security issues in Allawa and other communities in Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

In a statement, Bako Wakili Bosso, President of the Gbenu Boknu Yakwo Association, criticised the commissioner for denying reports that bandits and terrorists have taken over Allawa. The statement claims that the commissioner’s statements during an interview with an international media outlet were out of touch with the reality on the ground.

The statement reads, “We, the Gbenu Boknu Yakwo Association, are deeply disappointed in Brigadier General Bello Abdullahi (RTD) for his recent false claims that our people in Allawa and surrounding communities, who have been terrorised by bandits and kidnappers, have resumed their normal farming activities.

“The commissioner’s assertion during a BBC Hausa service interview-that normalcy has returned to Allawa in Shiroro LGA-mockingly disregards the suffering of residents who have been displaced from their ancestral lands due to banditry and terrorism.

“Niger citizens know that our people fled Allawa and surrounding areas on April 25, 2024, after soldiers stationed there were withdrawn. Despite five months passing since this exodus, the commissioner has failed to explain why the soldiers have not returned. Instead, he engaged in media misdirection, denying the reality of the ongoing crisis.

Reports from Daily Trust and other credible media sources confirm that bandits and terrorists have continued their activities in the affected areas.

“We condemn the commissioner’s attempts to manipulate public perception and trivialise the plight of those displaced and traumatised by banditry and insurgency. His actions demonstrate gross inefficiency and incompetence in addressing the security challenges in Allawa and neighbouring villages.

“We, therefore, call on Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago to urgently remove the incompetent commissioner of homeland security to prevent further frustration and anger from the farming communities. We also urge both the state and federal governments to take decisive action to eliminate the terrorists and enable the displaced residents to return to their homes and resume their farming activities.”

helinues:
Toh

Anybody still heartlessly defending this failed tinubu government don't deserve anything good in life

20 medical students kidnapped in Benue state last two weeks are still in kidnappers den with no hope of being rescued.

No press statement from the president till this very moment.

Zero security in the country.

What did we do to deserve this heartless Apc/Tinubu government??

Anybody still supporting this tinubu government don't deserve anything good in life 😭😭

We are now living as though we don't have a president 😭

The body made this known in a statement signed by Dr Princeston Okam and Dr Ifeanyi Obiaeli, Chairman and Secretary, respectively, at the end of its emergency general on Thursday.

It said the directive followed the kidnap of their colleague, Dr Stephen Ezeh, who was kidnapped on August 15 and still being held in captivity since then.

Recall that the doctors had on August 19 threatened to shut down operations across the state if Ezeh was not freed from captivity after 48 hours.

The association expressed dismay that 48 hours after the ultimatum and the appeal to the state
government had elapsed, Ezeh was still languishing in the hands of his abductors in spite of his health challenges.

The statement read in part, “NMA Anambra branch hereby directs all doctors in the state to forthwith withdraw clinical services in all federal, state, private, mission, institutional and corporate hospitals in the state until our member is released.

“That NMA Anambra will painstakingly monitor compliance with the above directive through her ‘Strike monitoring team’ and that defaulting hospitals and members will be blacklisted and penalised in line with congress resolutions.

“That Anambra State government should activate all necessary security agencies and instruments at its disposal to ensure ‘timely and unconditional’ release of our abducted member.

“NMA Anambra State is not oblivious to the hardship this withdrawal of services will cause the good people of Anambra. However, we appeal to the State government to expedite action towards securing the release of our colleague so as to restore normalcy to the health system.

“NMA Anambra leadership will continue to brainstorm and work together with all relevant government agencies to collectively achieve a healthy and secured populace.”

The NMA commended the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, and the Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, for their painstaking effort towards improving healthcare delivery and security in the State.

The body also commended doctors for their resolve and commitment to offering the Anambra people quality health care.

You wey be billionaire wey no dey collect 30k to sabotage, u dey lament pass them

If people could defend hardship with 30k stipend and you lament this much, that means you are sure living below 30k

Silly logic. U pose yourself as a big person to taunt others, then turn around to lament far more than the supposedly small people

This one pain you personally 😅...are you one of them??

badoh:
Oga shut up, Nigeria don't have a president? What about those committing these atrocities, are they not human beings like you? If the military ordered shoot on sight for everyone committing atrocities, the same you will complain of genocide. These monsters were created by the northerners for political reasons and it has gone out of hand. Don't deceive yourself, if Atiku or Obi were to be the president, they will face the same insecurities if not worse. The fact is Nigeria is gone and normalcy can only be returned temporarily when the country is divided and every region go their separate ways.

Aren't you ashamed of supporting failure like tinupoo??

olaolulazio:
u use style mumu.

If some of u are lazy to get up from ur bed, na president una go still blame.

Keep defending rubbish, the insecurity will visit you only then will you realise yourself

Zico5:
So u think if Peter Obi or Atiku is voted the president,killing will stop. You guys are just deluded

No, only tinupoo can stop it

saviourGeorge:
You are free to say whatever makes u happy

And people still collect 30k from the government to sabotage other Nigerians crying for better governance
.

Beremx:
Do people still use kerosene to cook? What happened to gas which is preferable for now? How can kerosene be sold for such a ridiculous amount?

Haaa!!!!

6kg of gas cylinder is now 25,000 naira...how many people can afford it and refiling it at #1,400 per kg now??

Gas is now #1400 per kg

Apc is a curse
