THOSE MEDICAL STUDENTS ARE VERY VERY STUPID AND VERY MUCH DESERVE TO BE KIDNAPPED ........................ !


SOMEONE SHOULD PLS EXPLAIN WHY THESE MEDICAL BRAINS DECIDED TO REMAIN IN OUR MESSED UP NIGERIA RATHER THAN JAPA TO UK, USA, AUSTRALIA, IRELAND, ETC ETC ..........


IN NIGERIA, THE SECURITY FORCES ARE THE BANDITS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING FOR.


IF THAT IS NOT THE CASE, PERHAPS WE SHOULD ALL BE SHOWN THE FACES OF THE MANY MANY BANDITS THE GOVT ALWAYS CLAIM THEY HAVE ALREADY ARRESTED.


THEY SHOULD TELL US THE COURTS THEY ARE BEING PROSECUTED IN.



NIGERIAN PROFESSIONALS THAT VALUE THEMSELVES SHOULD RUN AWAY FROM THIS USELESS COUNTRY UNDER VERY EVIL GOVTS, EVEN IF IT MEANS TREKING ACROSS THE SAHARA DESERT.

THE RANSOM CASH PAID FOR THEM SHOULD MORE THAN COVER THE COST OF THEIR JAPA TO A BETTER LIFE.


ALL THESE YOUNG PROFESSIONAL THAT ARE WASTING THEIR LIVES HOPING AGAINST HOPE IN THIS NIGERIA THAT POLITICIANS HAVE ALREADY DESTROYED, DESERVES TO BE KIDNAPPED BY THESE VERY INNOCENT BANDITS !!!
Bolded above:
This kidnap for ransome has become another method for funnelling proceeds from crude oil and gas to the Northwest region controlled by the Fulani.
kidnap for ransome and banditry are offshoots of Boko Haram. Boko Haram says that it's fighting for a country to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system, the same unconstitutional criminal justice system unilaterally adopted by the political and religious leaders of the12 far northern Nigeria states between 1999-2001.
Sani Yerima as governor of Zamfara state introduced Sharia criminal justice system in far north of Nigeria in 1999.
Proliferation of states and local government areas in that region for funnelling of oil and gas proceeds to the region is no longer enough for the region.
A BBC female reporter asked Yerima if he didn't understand that his Sharia criminal justice system might lead to break up of Nigeria.

In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari pledged before a large crowd of Muslims in Kaduna that he would not relent until Islamic sharia criminal justice system is applied in all the states of Nigeria.


One of the earliest demands of Alhaji Tanko Mohammed appointed Chief Justice of Nigeria by Buhari was for Islamic sharia criminal justice system be included in Nigeria's Constitution.

They're still students. Where do you want them to travel to as undergraduates?
Let them complete their training first before travelling

Since they are still students, you can decide to sponsor them abroad, to finish their studies abroad. God bless you as you do that.

A country where the DSS can locate anybody that post tweets on X criticizing the government but throw a blind eye to Fulani terrorists and bandits openly flaunting ransom money and doing give away on Tiktok, yet walk freely.

One rule for Fulani criminals and another rule for the others, especially Southerners.Turji Bello, the bandit leader is walking free as we speak. Incidences like these will continue in such an unjust society.

When you see a statement that is full of strategic and tactical information released by NPF regarding a rescue mission ,just know that all na just English language...ransom was paid plain and simple.
You did rescue mission, no kidnappers arrested or killed, nothing destroyed...abegi

Yes, DSS needs to do more

But the difference between kidnapped people, and government dissidents is that it is easy to catch government dissidents. They live in urban areas, are not armed, and don't have a large group of armed people surrounding their house....nor do they have access to instruments of terror.

Kidnappers on the other hand are heavily armed, live in remote rural areas, sometimes in very remote areas (one mediation team who went to meet some kidnappers had to travel a very long distance into the bush by bike, as there was no car) and if the DSS and army approach them armed to catch them, they can kill their kidnap victims, and then turn and face the Law...and die doing so.

Over ten years ago, DSS traced a kidnapeed expat to a house in Sokoto. They took every precaution, even moved in quietly, but as soon as the kidnappers saw the first sign of armed intervention, they brought out their victim, killed him, and then faced the DSS squad. Of course they died.

There have even been reports of kidnappers using their victims as human shields.

Now we can do as the RUssians do and rescue them anyway, but some of the victims will die, and people will blame government ...not the kidnappers. (and government is to blame really, no issue)...and since governments are made of politicans who want to win elections,.....

that's why they 'negotiate'

(This is not to excuse any government, just telling ya reality. And if you must know, I think that government should go in and kill off the kidnappers. Even if some victims die, any assh^le wanting to replicate kidnapping would think again. I'm not fond of Putin, but he had the right idea at Beslan and at the Moscow theater incidents).

I quite understand your point about these kidnappers living in deep forests and all, but all still boils down to failure of government. Successive governments do not have the political will to stop these nonsense, especially since the past Buhari-led government. I could remember the opposition of prominent Fulani politicians and leaders when Amotekun was being set up to deal with these criminals in the forest killing farmers and kidnapping people in the South West.

That there is such a vast area of ungovernable spaces in the country, especially up North is an admittance of failure on the Nigerian government at state and federal level, and an indictment on them. Nigerian politicians really disgust me. They're the most selfish, wicked and heartless set of people to walk the surface of the earth.

Lots of BLUSTER from the NPF.

Were the students ACTUALLY rescued or did the police just ACCOMPANY the victim's families to drop off the ransom?
It's most likely they paid ransom if it's actually a rescue operation there will definitely be casualties after the gun fight.

Rescued but the kidnappers were not killed, injured or captured

How is that possible?
Re: 20 Medical Students Kidnapped In Benue Rescued – Security Sources by Vulcan24(m): 8:48am On Aug 24, 2024
1st it is unbelievably funny that a school will allow her student move in an unarmed escort on Nigerian road from north to the east ! What school mgt and parent allow such still baffles a conscious mind!

2. Moving in a marked car and convoy is expectedly calling for trouble, it's like saying pls come and kidnap us! Whoever authorized the trip or the criminal cohort set up the trip that way and positioned the kidnappers in that route. This is not a random case and there is someone in the group that signal the attack.

3. What rescue operation takes place and there are no casualties of war !! Rescue you say ? I am optimally convinced that someone within orchestrate the kidnap and the person has been paid.

4. It brings to fore that this is very much a planned financial criminal endeavor, the person or cabal doing this have information about potential kidnap prospects either for this and several others.

5. Stationary victims are kept under surveillance before kidnapping them, a planned trip has a mole and someone tracking and reporting their movt to the assailants.

6. Kidnap in Nigeria is state sponsored and they select which and what target and amount they choose

They most likely paid the ransom. Believe what the police tells the media at your risk.
Re: 20 Medical Students Kidnapped In Benue Rescued – Security Sources by tarboshi(m): 10:22am On Aug 24, 2024
In Nigeria, any Rescue in which the kidnappers were not killed or arrested, must have involved ransom payment.


And I M sure that Nigeria police and army benefits from this ransom.
