He just want to answer the name President, but doesn't have the capacity to govern.

Tinubu, a bad man with bad intentions.

Well said, you dey mind that Clown?

When you have people like Injustice James Omotosho, people resort to self help.

Because they know that there is no justice..

How do you know they are really kidnappers? This is how ALUU four were killed due to false alert, when the next false alarm happens to be your son or brother you will have a rethink to this jungle justice keep cheering them. Lawless citizens in a lawless society.

Even though I am in not support of jungle justice. I think the people are trying to see if truly police apprehended kidnappers or it is just audio arrest.

oz4real83:
People take the law into their hands in situations where justice is absent, if these people know that the kidnappers will be seriously dealt, they won't bother trying to provide justice themselves. We have seen a situation where a wanted terrorist was caught enjoying himself in a governor's lodge

Not only that, the people may think it's audio arrest and just want to truly see who and who they arrested

Me think the people are sensing it's audio arrest and truly wants to see the arrested kidnappers. But I am not in support of jungle justice sha

Where did you get your figures from? Kano is one of the safest places to be a Christian in the North. In fact there is basically a local government in the city center dedicated to Christians. There is no type of church you will not find in sabon gari. There are beer parlours, clubs and night life that would make you not know you are still in the North.

If you are referring to Sabon Gari, it is not a local government. It is a local government ward.

The number of people in sabon gari is more than the population of many local governments in some states.

Eyewitnesses said the crowd became enraged after learning that the suspects were being held within the police station.

Hypocrisy of the highest order. If the said kidnappers or bandits were accused of blasphemy, the police would have handed them over to the mob with a stupid claim that they (the police) were overpowered, now it is the untouchables of the Northern kidnapping and banditary conglomerate, they were not overpowered.

They are not trying to see, if you bring those boys outside they will be burnt alive.

reddingtonblack:
Were Aluu fours even kidnappers, you cant blame the people if they dont trust the police or govt.

cases of mistaken kidnapper in Nigeria is 1 out 10,000 esp. in a place like North

That one out of 10000 might be your son or brother that's why it's never a good idea, they should be protected according to the law

sweerychick:
Good question now answer this why would they take to the streets knowing fully well they're kidnappers, in Kebbi state who ordered soldiers to withdraw

You haven't answered mine and you expect me to answer yours? Which planet are you from?

I’ve been preaching endlessly on Nairaland about how Nigeria — arguably the world’s foremost tall-tale-telling nation — needs leaders who can somehow inculcate a culture of evidence-seeking. If you want a glimpse of what the future could look like for a tall-tale-telling society without the stabilising balance that evidence-based thinking brings, visit platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Telegram. There you’ll see Nigeria in full hysteria, with people demanding swift action both for and against the country in so many conflicting ways that the outcome can only resemble a societal explosion — the civic equivalent of a nuclear blast.

Finally, the north is waking up

Be it my son, Its worth the deterrence that will save thousand lifes, let it be me sef

The reason why stealing and some criminal act are on the low is fear of jungle justice, not the police ... cell is like home to some people

We dont have a law, no justice and thats what led to jungle justice in the 1st place

i dont support jungle justice But its an option than must not die

I know that, but suspicious that it maybe audio is still part of it. I would have love the police to lock them outside their gate and bring the culprits out inside the police compound and let them see for themselves.
Though it may result to chaos by the mobs bringing out the police gate and rushing to the kidnappers. Whichever way, only them and the police knows jare

Arewa Forum Condemns Continued Detention Of Popular Hunter Musa Aljan Who Helped Government To Arrest Terrorist Kingpins
December 6, 2025
NEWS

The Arewa Youth Ambassadors (AYA) have demanded the immediate and unconditional release of renowned hunter and anti-terrorism volunteer, Shehu Musa Aljan, condemning his continued imprisonment by the Nigerian government despite his extraordinary contributions to national security.

In a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Comrade Yahaya M. Abdullahi, the group said Aljan, whose key roles led to the arrest of several terrorist kingpins and rescue of kidnapped victims and rustled cattles, deserved national recognition, not the 45-year jail term currently hanging over him.

AYA expressed concern that a man widely regarded across northern communities as a fearless frontline defender is being punished instead of honoured.

Arewa Youth Ambassadors (AYA)

According to the group, Aljan played a key role for years by assisting security agencies in tracking and apprehending terrorist kingpins, rescuing kidnapped victims, and providing critical intelligence in regions where state presence was weak or absent.

For more than a decade, local hunters in northern Nigeria have served as an informal but essential layer of security, especially in remote communities vulnerable to banditry and insurgency.

Their intimate knowledge of forests, hideouts, and escape routes has made them valuable partners for the military, police, and vigilante networks.

Experts say the efforts of these volunteers have prevented large-scale attacks, stabilised local communities, and complemented overstretched state resources.

Among them, Aljan emerged as one of the most trusted and effective figures.

Residents recount stories of his fearlessness, his willingness to pursue heavily armed criminals, and his consistent collaboration with security forces.

Community leaders say his work directly contributed to the arrest of several high-profile terrorist collaborators over the years.

Arewa Youth Ambassadors (AYA)

AYA said it was “deeply troubling” that an individual celebrated as a hero in many northern villages is now behind bars.

While acknowledging the importance of respecting judicial processes, the group argued that justice must consider the broader context of his service and sacrifices.

“Punishing a man who risked his life for this country sends the wrong message,” the statement read.

The organisation warned that imprisoning individuals like Aljan could discourage community cooperation, an element critical to Nigeria’s counter-terrorism strategy.

Security analysts have long emphasised that successful operations depend on strong relationships between citizens and state authorities.

The case has also ignited a wider debate about the treatment of non-state actors who assist in security operations.

Many Nigerians believe such individuals should receive national honours, protection, and structured integration into community policing frameworks.

Instead, Aljan’s imprisonment has raised concerns about fairness and the long-term consequences for public morale.

AYA called on the President, Minister of Justice, traditional leaders, and security agencies to urgently review the circumstances surrounding the conviction.

They insist that Aljan’s bravery should be formally acknowledged, not forgotten in a prison cell.

“The continued detention of Shehu Musa Aljan is a moral and strategic setback,” the group said, insisting that justice must not dampen patriotism but reinforce it through fairness and recognition.

"AYA concluded by reiterating that Shehu Musa Aljan should be celebrated, not forgotten behind bars. They maintain that: His contributions must be formally acknowledged. His case deserves urgent review. His continued detention is a moral and strategic setback. Justice must reflect fairness, not discourage patriotism," the Arewa Youth Ambassadors said.

EXCLUSIVE: Intelligence Report Exposes Kidnapping, Bandit Syndicates Across Northern Nigeria

EXCLUSIVE

A comprehensive investigation into the activities of kidnappers and bandits across northern Nigeria reveals a complex web of criminal operations involving suspected kingpins, collaborators, and potential connections with politically exposed persons.

The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) findings, based on a September 2020 intelligence report, span the North-West and North-East regions and provide detailed insights into the identities, movements, and alleged activities of hundreds of suspects.

North-West Axis: Katsina, Zamfara, and Kaduna Under Siege

The report highlights the North-West as a hotspot for kidnapping and banditry, with Katsina, Zamfara, and Kaduna states heavily affected.

Several high-profile suspects were identified in the report.

According to the report, Samaila Ibrahim (aka Kachalla, Dan Antuna), 24, operating out of Kaduna and Katsina, was reportedly involved in the abduction of Abdullahi Carpenter along the Kaduna–Abuja Expressway.

He is suspected of sourcing weapons or drugs through an associate, “Iliya Kaya.”

Aliyu Abubakar Umar, aka Lalbi 1 and Laibi 2, 25, is linked to multiple kidnappers and is suspected to have connections with law enforcement collaborators and local political figures.

Aish Buhari, 35, allegedly communicates internationally with France and Ghana and has strong ties to the Lalbi network.

Nasiru Mani, aka Sada Lawal, 26, a suspected kidnapper in Katsina, reportedly coordinates with Ibrahim Umaru (Ardo Alti) and receives communications from the Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) at odd hours, suggesting possible logistical support for banditry operations.

Umar Sani (Uzairu), 83, maintains communications with suspected kidnappers at flashpoints across the North-West.

The report also identifies several suspected informants and logistics operators, including Ashiru Salisu, Shaaibu Sulaiman, and Sani Farouk, who allegedly provide critical support for abductions, ransom collection, and coordination across Katsina and Zamfara.
