Young Boy Nabbed In Kebbi After Allegedly Faking Being Deaf For One Year To Gather And Pass Information To Kidnappers

One Abuzaidu Abubakar Yari, disclosed this in a Facebook post on Monday, March 2, 2026.

In a shocking revelation from Kebbi State, a young boy has been arrested for allegedly pretending to be deaf for nearly a year in order to secretly gather and relay information to kidnappers.

The disclosure was made by Abuzaidu Abubakar Yari in a Facebook post on Monday, March 2, 2026.

According to Yari, the boy confessed that he, along with two others, was sent to spy on residents in the Makera Gandu area of Birnin Kebbi.

During interrogation, the boy revealed that he had been taught sign language to communicate with his accomplices. Despite currently residing in Kebbi State, he is originally from Niger State.

Yari used the incident to caution the public, urging residents to remain vigilant and cautious of strangers in their communities.

“Always be aware of your surroundings and report suspicious behavior to the authorities,” he advised.

The case highlights the sophisticated methods some criminal groups employ to carry out kidnappings and other crimes, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of community vigilance

A YEAR OF SILENCE, A YEAR OF BETRAYAL: HOW A FAKE “DEAF” INFORMANT FED KIDNAPPERS IN KEBBI

In a disturbing security revelation from Kebbi State, authorities have arrested a young man accused of spending an entire year pretending to be deaf while secretly serving as an informant for kidnapping gangs. By posing as someone living with a hearing impairment, he reportedly gained the trust and sympathy of residents, moving freely within the community without raising suspicion.

Security sources say he operated in Makera Gandu area of Birnin Kebbi, carefully observing daily routines and discreetly gathering intelligence on targeted individuals. His alleged role was not to carry out abductions himself, but to provide critical information that would enable criminal networks to strike with precision.

During interrogation, the boy reportedly confessed that he and two others were deployed for similar surveillance missions. He further claimed that those who trained them in sign language are based in Harasawa area within Birnin Kebbi, while he is originally from Niger State. The methodical planning behind the operation shows a troubling evolution in criminal tactics.

The incident has left residents shaken, exposing vulnerabilities in both community vigilance and security oversight. As criminal networks continue to exploit compassion and trust as operational tools, one pressing question remains: how long will criminals continue to manipulate our collective intelligence because of negligence within our communities and among the authorities?

Umu Ishmael dy always surprise me o

CIA and MOSSAD should rescue and nurture this boy's talent for the greater good.

Except your God!

Why should Allah grant a terrorist victory?

Chai!

See the kind of training the boy was exposed to.
At such a tender age.
God abeg o.

Seems like he is doing what he was taught as "right" by his religion.

He ll rot in jail

Oloju funfun

Leave him alone and hold those responsible for keeping children in school and not on the streets. Those that support almajiri are also sponsors of terrorists cos a terrorists today was once a child who had his childhood stolen from him.

Sometimes I wonder how illiteracy is still prevalent in the North despite their leaders occupying Nigeria leadership for decades 🤔

Arrest his father and mother too. They're the ones who pushed him into it

This is the danger of so called almajirici ravaging the north but trust my bahushe brothers not to learn anything from this. I'm more interested in what happen next and not this...

And Kheengz, I'm glad you're from gari IBB, how do you feel after reading this with your single released some years ago clamoring for support for the almajirici system?

Can you imagine this , just imagine

not just leaders but Northern Nigerian leaders who occupy mostly the leadership position

One of their strategies is to make you pity them; dressing poorly, stopping or begging you on the road to distract you, acting like they don't understand English at all, etc...

Anybody who supports Almajirinci system should be considered a terrorist.

The Almajiris are the reserve pool and 'feeder team' for future armed terrorists.

We must begin to tell ourselves the truth in this country..

Any Alfa, Alhaji or Imam supporting the Almajiris system should be arrested for promoting terrorism. Shikena!

I even think say he die.
Which kind cut and join report be this?

This is the problem of the Almajiri system the north is building
