So because the know the terrain and can speak the language makes them not to be Fulanis?
Dey play!
Who knows the terrain of any area than the Fulanis who work and live in the forest?

That’s how they do capture them.
They do use a huge log of wood to force you to either slow down or stop completely. Almost had similar experience from Taraba to Onisha some years ago as a youth corper. The driver went off the road to narrowly dodge the wooden impediment.

A newbie on that route would have thought it is the police. However the police and army also employ the same tactics, the reason why even pro drivers could get confused as to who they might be slowing down for.

Hmm . One wonders why the sudden attack on the nations food basket.

And why is the govt not bothered, no one is bothered that these attacks will trigger a food crises next year. Shout alleluia.

These guys were definitely not Fulani Kidnappers with the level of Mercy shown to the victims..

Fulani Kidnappers will make you fast and pray while waiting for your family to pay the ransom

I am from the south east so please don't try to distort facts here!
Check out the crime rate for the year 2024 according to Nigerian government, you can even Google it. The statistics is not from me

Fulani, Fulani, Fulani.
Fulani makes less than 8% of Nigeria's population. Accusing Fulani for nothing.

If 92% can not stop the Fulani from rearing cattle in the bushes, LET THE 92% SHUT UP AND WAIT FOR THE DESCENDANTS OF OTHMAN TO TAKE OVER Nigeria.
Very well said. Kidnapping is not the exclusive preserve of Fulanis as disclosed by this guy here. And it makes a whole lot of sense, the indigenous criminals in each locality would never fold their arms and allow the Fulani bandits alone make all the money from kidnapping without competing for the spoils!

Fulanis have been vindicated.

It’s a gradual process, everyone would soon admit who the real terrorists are in this country.
They’ve not been vindicated Oga. They are still the biggest criminals in the country . See the core north and elsewhere

Igbo man just loves taking risks why go far away to yola with all the security challenges on the road now to study law when there are enough schools in the east and south that offers same course?
Re: We Were Kidnapped By Tiv People, Not Fulani — Freed Law School Student, Obiora by ibabz(m): 3:17pm On Aug 05, 2025
This is exactly why I hesitate when people from the Tiv regions (Kogi and Benue) try to align themselves with the Yorubas. Yoruba culture is rooted in love, hospitality, and deep values. But unfortunately, some individuals from those areas still seem influenced by a blend of conflicting identities and a lingering dependence mentality that doesn’t reflect the Yoruba spirit.

I've said it and will say it again the senate and HoR should make the penalty for kidnapping and terrorism death.

He's lucky it was Tivs and not Fulani. It might have been a different story.

So, upon all the NIN, BVN, Driver's Licence, International Passport, SIM REGISTRATION, Birth Certificate, Police Report and gbogbo ti gbo. Kidnappers are still collecting ransom without being traced.

I would have spat on our security agencies, unfortunately, I'm out of saliva.

This country is rotten to the core! Tueh! angry angry

This is very sad,the very people you believe they are the victims are actually among the perpetrators, but how was it possible to collect these huge sums of money easily either by cash or transfer without any lead,what is the purpose of BVN,nin and other security codes.

Government must work hard to stop proliferation of arms in our country.

The kidnapping thing has turned a booming business for criminal people although majority into it are Fulanis.

Black people have evil hearts and government has failed. Every day grammar. Why can't Tinubu allow state police? Why? Just why?

Fulani people have been accused several times for crimes they did not commit.

Most of the crimes especially kidnapping are being perpetrated by members of the local communities
And it was never like that untill buhari became president


Nigeria media is evil

14 times 10million . That’s 140 million Naira in a short time . If they execute this 10 times a year that’s 1.4 billion Naira . This is why kidnapping cannot stop until the government mandates public execution of convicted kidnappers . Knowing you will die a shameful public death will be a huge deterrent for people who want to start kidnapping as a business .

We have complacent politicians who are wicked and painfully slow . The wife is collecting and living large on the proceeds of crime . Arrest her and the kids . Lock them up as well as his families . Let him start spending the money on himself in the bush.

This is really sad to read

Normally na cash dem go collect na. Not sure they will accept transfer so as to erase any trace.

They are Tivs, I grew up in Taraba and I know what they can do. They've kidnapped my uncles before. Funny thing is just like the narrator the people living in those villages know them very well. Is Gana their former leader not TIv? Fulani won't be that bold to kidnapped along a TIv dominated area.
