runningriot: While I express utmost joy for the safe return of the students and their teachers. However, there are questions that need to be answered, were they truly rescued or as usual bargain and negotiation was what transpired the release of the abductees? Because no single evidence to show that it was a rescue operation that led to the recovery of these children and their teachers. I mean, real and substantial evidence will provoke more public confidence and trust in the government and security agencies.
Eight arrested and others neutralized. The rescue just happened. The children and their teachers have not been handed over to Oyo State government and their families. Why the hurrying to release pictures. Most likely DSS are still interogating those arrested. Just few hours ago that this happened and people want security agencies to play to the gallery by releasing pictures anyhow.
The military hasn't released detailed account of what happened. Report has it that a policeman died and two or three military personnel died.
There should be a synergy between Oyo state govt and the FG on this.
But the video of Go Makinde saying he declared for presidency 4pm and the kids were abducted 9am the following morning leaves much to be desired.
That's playing politics and pointing fingers and I doubt the FG will want to roll with him .
Don't mind them. Experts said that this level of kidnapping are not planned and executed overnight. The primary reason was to get their high ranking leaders in DSS custody and prosecuted in court released. They came closer to the west knowing fully well that this will embarrass the president and amount pressure on him to release their leaders in exchange. The president didn't budge.
Axis313: Thank God,at last they regained their freedom. But my question is this,are they released by the kidnappers or were rescued by the security agents?
They were rescued. Eight of such kidnappers have been arrested and in the custody of DSS ready to be changed to court. Others were neutralized. In the days coming you will see the pictures. The victims have not even been handed over to Oyo State government. Most likely tomorrow.
Gbadugbakun: When my dad serve in 1962 there wasn't any ghosting. All coppers must be physically present at the camp grand. It was after the civil war that everything changed and NYSC became bad.
NYSC in 1962? Please take it backward to 1952 .... hahaha 🤣😂
Correction: arrested 8, number neutralized not yet stated. The security agencies haven't spoken yet. Security issues are not chochocho. When you wait and no pictures were shown and no one charged to court then you can talk.
The USA operations in sokoto on Christmas day received the same negative chochocho from people like you. The same day people like you said that because there was no picture that day that it was fake.
Just wait. You will see those arrested and they will be prosecuted. Let me tell you what you don't know:
The forest was surrounded. The key was quick response unlike the chibok case that came late.
The delay was to preserve the lives of the children.
A policeman and some soldiers were lost.
When they began to use the abductees as shield and bargaining chip the DSS traced their relations and arrested as many as possible even up to the North.
The security operatives began to use their relations which are more as bargaining chip.
jookco2: How much did they pay to get them released? Don't tell me they didn't pay billions
No money was paid. We will soon see those arrested and those killed. It was a complex operation but a proof that we can get it done. Key to the success was quick respond after abduction. Reason for the delay was to preserve lives of those children.
seunlayi: Congratulations everybody involved in the process of the release. Especially, thanks should be given to governor Seyi on this because I am sure his talk with the kidnappers played a big role to facilitate the celebration of today.
I guessed they gave money to the Bandit and still cornered them...kudus to our security agency on this. It's a loud one to all terrorist to stay clear of Oyo State and the national Park
They likely payed them to lure them out and they still PLAYED them to corner them so that they won't leave that forest to spend the money.
Kudos to our security men in this
Say what you know. I just finished listening to a dss operative on how the operation was conducted. All that you said here are out of it.
GOFRONT: Rescued by which of Security agencies exactly??
Shame on that security agency for sleeping on duty making the defence porous for the abductors to have a filled day in the first place!!!
Shame on DSS and Nig police
Meanwhile, these kids and teachers here looked Healthy and untraumatized to me........It looked like a staged kidnap to me where they were taken to a well arranged Hostel where there is adequate food supply, clean drinking water, they bathe well, Good Toilet for convenience,
Infact, I dont know how to trust Nigerian govt leadership!!!
PS. I can even see a teacher with an Android phone among the so called RESCUED Abductees!!....The Directors of this movie has allowed this actress to cast everything by flaunting out her phone while movie recording was Ongoing.......If u know u know
Merchant of bad news. So Makinde that so much hates Tinubu will collaborate with him to stage anything?
LordLicifer: South Korea? Naigeeria has always done better than South Korea, South Korea is poorer than nigeria...
How about Ghana or even South africa here? Compare with these 2 african countries. They had to go all the way to South Korea to pull out a propaganda stunt
Skyfornia: Una no dey tire..?? All these inflated stories will make sense once the citizens begin to enjoy the dividends. The masses can't be suffering everyday with increased rent, increased commodities, increased petroleum products, increased foods, low health care, increased security failure etc yet we are hearing about government efforts only on papers...
Be smart and stop complaining. People are taking up the opportunities. Blame wouldn't change anything for you.
9jatriot: I think this request should be granted to them actually. That issue is too serious and embarrassing to say the least.
That level of fraud is too grand to be treated with kid gloves.
You are right but he missed it by demanding for inclusion of haters of the government. Most of the parties don't have a state or member of national Assembly. What then qualifies them to be included if not to look for what to use to attack the government whether real or not.
givedemwotowoto: In any serious society, not just developed countries, a major Presidential opposition candidate is given priority protection. In Nigeria, the opposite is the case, they're playing with the safety of a major political opposition.
Is it wrong for the citizens to call for foreign intervention in this case? Former President OBJ says it's not wrong.
Nigeria Will Rise Again | Obi – Kwankwaso Presidential Song (2027)
I have never for once disbelieved PBAT's policies. The greatest tragedy that can happen to Nigeria is if they are stopped half way. Allow these policies to drive for the next five years and Nigeria will be up there. He has ignited fire on his ministers. Everyone is trying to reform. After PBAT we should be shopping for a good disciple up north to hand over so that the Lagos model can be replicated.
These are sponsored publications. He rejected oil block but accepted to serve under Abacha and milked NPA. He likes presenting himself as saint and Messiah but he is not. Invested state funds into his family business. That's absolute conflict of interest. In decent societies he will be jailed for it.
PlasmaTV: And apart from Tinubu's glaring incompetence, his wife seems to be the more evil of the two.
I mean, what serious first lady encourages people to go into kuli kuli production? In 2026!
So Obi is the better alternative? Bundle of contradiction. He said that he wants to turn Nigeria from consumption to production:
He hadn't any factory. His business all life is import and sell. Doesn't this contradict the above?
He said that he is in favour of fx and petroleum products subsidy. This encourages imports and discourages local production. Is this still not contradiction?
Obi has no knowledge of leadership. Chochocho doesn't show quality.
givedemwotowoto: How are Nigerians this patient with their leaders, but unforgiving to petty thieves on the streets?
Elrufai is always courting problems where there is none. You were granted permission to see your doctor. ICPC officials took you to the doctor and stayed outside the consultation room to allow for your privacy. The doctor smuggled other persons into the consultation room and another meeting was held outside medical consultation as ordered by the court. Pictures were taken and you and your associates were foolish enough to post it on the social media. What audacity?
Is the doctor not culpable? Can such medical requests ever be granted by the court again? Does this show that Elrufai is smart? Can any agency anywhere in the world allow this? He could as well smuggle coup plotters and plan with them under the guise of medical treatment.
Nigerians that claim that they want a new Nigeria will not condemn this audacity by the elites in this country but they will call government names.
Bobloco: First, Tinubu should have suspended the thief of Staff, get him arrested by the police and handed over to ICPC for investigation
Anything other than that is simply playing to the gallery
Is this how you will run an institution if you are in charge of one. Accusation only then you fire, arrest and then handed over for investigation. If it turns out to be false what would you do?
Data boys never disappoint. They always deliver balderdash when you least or most expect it.
Fake news that your messiah loots ₦100bn according to El Rufai?
Fake news that your Baba akara uses loans from IMF and World Bank to fund irrelevancies and inanities?
Always minoring in the major and majoring in the minor.
No be only mark him, na markim.
Shiorrrrr.
Everyone to you is a data boy. Tell me if your assumed data fee can fuel just one V6 engine for one week.
You can throw figures around but you can't produce one detailed facts. Just throw figures anyhow. #500 billion given to Jonathan to contest in order to split south south votes.
You and your Lords are riding on the wave of latest IMF report. Regrettably you didn't understand the content of the report. Just chochocho.
Just send three good non-alcoholic wine and I will send to you a detailed meaning of what IMF is saying. Don't get heart attack thinking that any 8.8 trillion is stolen anywhere.
Dogalmighty17: This is the criminal lawlessness of Nigerian security agencies for you. Why are they arresting the father? The presidents chief of staff remains an accused in this matter. He hasn't respected himself nor the president he claims to serve, not the dignity of the office he brings into disrepute, by stepping aside! Have the police invited him for questioning? No! Has the senate and house of assembly who passed a budget that is a lie to itself summoned him? No! We see the lawlessness of this government? How can this be defended anywhere on earth? What difference exists between this government and military rule?
You are just doing chochocho. Are you part of those investigating this issue? Do you think that the father can be picked if there is no linkage of any type even when the suspect is not on the run? I'm not defending what is happening but say what is reasonable.
