“bring Food First, We’ll Discuss Ransom Later”: Kidnappers Set Strange Condition by Antoeni(op): 4:19pm On Mar 05

Families of 14 abducted residents in Janjala, Kagarko LGA, Kaduna State, are facing a cruel twist. The bandits holding them have demanded food to feed the victims before they will even discuss ransom.

The attack happened Saturday night, February 8, 2026, when more than 20 armed men stormed the village. Among the abducted are Saleh Adamu, a local vigilante, his wife Fatima, and 12 other residents. One man, Shamsudeen Adamu, was shot in the stomach during the raid.

A community liaison, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the bandit leader called Monday evening from one of the victims’ phones, demanding A bag of rice, guinea corn, maize, a jerrycan of palm oil, five cartons of spaghetti, a carton of seasoning cubes, and N1 million cash. The money, the bandits said, is for “energy drinks, cigarettes, Indian hemp, and hard drugs".

“When I tried to explain that the families are struggling, he hung up immediately,” the source said. “They just want food first. They say the victims are starving.”

Security forces are scouring forests between Sabon-Kurutu and Hayin-Dam, but as of Tuesday, the Kaduna State Police had yet to respond to the latest developments.

For the families, the wait is agonising, caught between hunger, fear, and hope that their loved ones will return safely.

The bandits' base can't be more than 10 kilometres from wherever they want the food dropped.

The fact that the security services still doesn't have drones to trace bandits like this is just perplexing.

Abi o.

One marvels at what appears to be a gaping hole in technical capability within the security services.

For example, when they catch one or 2 of those motorcycle- riding bandits who are part of a large group, one would think they will detain them for a day or 2, release them but only after putting tracking devices in their motorcycles.

Inevitably, upon their release the bandits will ride the bikes back to their group's forest location thereby giving the security forces an easy opportunity to identify and attack the location taking out virtually all of them.

But there is no sign that the military does this kind of thing.

Does this mean that eradicating global hunger will eradicate crime? Politicians, people just want enough to eat and take care of their families. They're not trying to buy private jets like you. Why eat both yours and theirs?

Nigeria has the ability to track the bandits but it will never happen because of the money some people are getting from the govt for logistics.

Lol... Reno and co are busy gallivanting about, using the unfortunate situation in Iran to sweep such things under the carpet.

Let's pretend all is well in Nigeria, and focus on 2027 elections.

Elections are the solutions to every serious issue or crisis in this 3rd world nation. tongue

Smart kidnappers know they need to take care of their hostage first. It's a psychological move to let the rescuer know that this might be a long battle if they are not ready to ball.

Most people underestimate the effects of hunger.

To an average surviving Nigerian, a bucket of Garri in the kitchen is valuable than 5 senators in Nigeria.
