Tales of woes have continued to persist in the South-East geo-political region due to the unending spate of kidnappings in the zone.

No week passes by without tales of people being kidnapped in different parts of the five states that make up the zone.

Stories abound of innocent travellers who were caught in the web of dare-devil kidnappers and taken into bushes where they were kept. At the same time, the abductors demanded ransom from their families.

Some kidnapped victims got lucky and survived the ordeal after paying the ransom and lived to tell their stories, while others who were not so lucky; paid the ransom and were still killed and their dead bodies and personal items littered the bushes where they were kept.

Consequently, these forests where they were kept became terror zones for the villagers.

Some of these forests have been nicknamed ‘Sambisa forests’ by the villagers.

Some communities have been abandoned and deserted, yet in some others, people are always on the edge and live in constant fear. Life in the region has become brutish, as people in every state in the zone have tales of woe to tell.

Security agents had on many occasions combed the forests and bushes for these kidnappers and on many occasions, exchanged gun battles with them. Some of the kidnappers were termed unknown gunmen and in many other cases, there were herdsmen who invaded and occupied some forests and bushes in Igbo land. They kidnap and terrorize people.

A cross-section of residents of the region agreed that forests and bushes in their areas were not safe, as they had been occupied by criminal elements who turned them into places for torture, killing, maiming, rape, shrines, and all manner of evil activities.

One LIE that has lingered for too long since the elections, is that it was free and fair in the SE.

People who wanted to vote APC were threatened.

Those who were bold to go out were bullied and beaten by Obidients

1. "Yorùbà Ronú" was misused by propagandists on BOTH SIDES, to score cheap points and stoke ethnic sentiments.

2. Similar incidents happened in many other states, but a particular group tried to blackmail others to make it seem it was limited to Lagos.

This wasn’t Lagos 👇👇 https://t.co/sP5bdoltSS pic.twitter.com/emthOMuW6w

All these people talking about the self styled "Prime Minister of Biafra", Simon Ekpa, being repatriated to Nigeria make me laugh

I wonder if these people understand how the international community sees Nigeria? A lawless, insecure, highly corrupt country that lacks justice. Simon Ekpa has lived in Finland over 20 years, married a Finnish woman, has Finnish children, and long become a Finnish citizen. He even served in the Finnish Army

How do you think Finland will repatriate its own citizen to a country like Nigeria? You think Finland is Kenya or Nigeria? I have said this many times, no European country will send its citizen to a country with very bad human rights record such as Nigeria. It is never done

If the Nigerian government has any evidence against Simon Ekpa, foward it to the Finnish authorities and he will be prosecuted in Finland. But if you are hoping that Finland will send him to Nigeria, forget it

It is because the Nigerian government has no evidence against Ekpa that he is walking around Finland a free man

madridguy:
Ekpa will soon be here Insha Allah. You and your likes said more than this before your Mazi Kanu was arrested like a chicken and since then he has been in detention.

Ekpa is running around now. The woman that threatening the Yoruba and Benin has been identified, the coward has deleted her tik tok account but its too late for her.

mrvitalis:
Nigerians are not left out na

All broilers are GMO, all tin tomatoes are made with GMO, sweet corn? Cornflakes? Goldenmorn?

Most plantain, banana, apples, grapes are all GMO

mrvitalis:
Anyone against GMO is just ignorant

You have more to worry about pesticides and fertilizers than GMO

Without GMO u won't have banana today or plantain... The list is endless

Everyday247:
What? How are they supposed to grow crops without seeds?

FEMIoduduwa:
Police arrested an OPC cannibal Dolapo Daniel Babalola for killing his childhood friend Evangelist Opeyemi Oyelakin and selling his motorcycle. He also confessed to killing his cousin and four others and selling the body parts to ritualists in Ibadan

Glimpsetv:
Two men have been caught attempting to perform a money ritual using sand taken from three different bank locations.

Confessing to the accusation, they revealed that they planned to collect sand from three banks—Access Bank, Wema Bank, and UBA—for the ritual. Speaking in the Yoruba dialect, they explained how they intended to carry out the ritual.

The question is, can sand collected from banks actually be used for such purposes?

Let's hear your thoughts in the comments.
