Very unfortunate that the unknown gunmen in the East specialize in killing fellow Igbos and cannibalzing them, not in protecting Igbos from the Fulanis that did the kidnappings.

Very sadly, Igbos celebrate them, calling them "Umuoma" "formidable", "angels"

What an ignorant confused "freedom fighters"

Timeline of this kidnap and the promptness of the ransome payment is suspicious to me.
He was kidnapped on Sunday and by Monday morning N100m cash had been raised and delivered!
Yet everyone is just accepting this story as it is.
Questions need to be raised,but of course,in the jungle,raising questions makes you a devil's advocate and everything is swallowed hook,line sinker.

Suspicious actually.

Why didn't Atiku Abubakar congratulate Mr Peter Obi for clinching the Presidential ticket of the Labour party just Mr Peter Obi did for him on social media? Tomorrow he will claim to be a unifier...I don't expect so much from a man that deleted his tweet about Deborah just because of his threatened political ambition

Atiku is the only known unifier.

After Atiku wins the the election, he will congratulate every contestant.

Come let's join Atiku to rescue nigeria from insecurity and apc

The report is incomplete. Please add the fact that he was kidnapped by a team of 9 Fulani bandits in Abia state.

I watched/listened to his report on Channels a few minutes ago. What the kidnappers told him was that they are angry with the government and their brother, Buhari.

Abia don turn zamfara state...even worst sef

You all always find a way to talk nonsense about east as if it’s not zamfara where they kill people every day in 100’s and foreign countries have advised their citizens not to travel to but because someone was kidnapped which is highly condemnable, then you say it’s worse than your terrorist occupied zamfara and north in general.

Finally, someone has admitted: ransom was paid for their release. Tomorrow, the police will tell us the release was due to pressure from them and regale us with how some of the kidnappers escaped with bullet wounds.

More war chest for the kidnappers.

That route will be bloody from now on. Clueless government that can't fight the easiest of crimes.

Kidnapping for ransom is very easy to handle. The ransom is the bait. Get a drone airborne and monitor the movement as the ransom is paid. Once the victim has been released, you attack the criminals.


But FG is inept. And governors are pocketing security votes.

Easier said dan done

Narrating his experience in a Press conference held at Methodist church yaba, Lagos state and monitored by All Facts Newspaper, the clergyman said their abductors were fulanis alleging that some personnel of the Nigerian Army from Fulani extraction were aiding the kidnappers in their activities.

In his word;

“these people came out from the bush;they divided themselves into 3 places; some people fired at us and there was another group in front to make sure that we didn’t run away; they fired shots at our vehicle and eventually, they abducted 3 of us.

“The communication man of the church was able to escape, the driver was able to escape; the abducted me, the bishop of Owerri and my chaplain and they took us to the bush and were torturing us. It was in the process of that torture that I hit my right eye on a tree. Even when blood was flowing and I was soaking my eyes with a handkerchief, they didn’t feel like anything happened.

telegram
“All they said was that we should follow them; that they were not actually against Nigerian citizens but against the government, that the government is a bad government.

“they are Fulani boys; all the 8 are fulanis; they said the day they will see the president or any of his representatives they will chew him raw; that he is their brother but he has disappointed them and has disappointed Nigeria.

” I said even though am part of government, am a church man am not a government official; they said okay, that is what have saved you, we would have killed you out-rightly without asking for any ransom but now that you are a church man, lets go inside the bush.

“I trekked up-to 15 kilometers but I knew that we were rigmaroling, going up going down and eventually at 11pm they said okay now we can negotiate; each of us will pay N50million and we are going to pay N150million. I thought it was a joke; I said we were going to pay 10million and they said what? Don’t say that; they lifted up their knife to cut me,I said please hold on.”

According to the clergy, the leader of the group is about 35 years while the others are about 18.

He said they had taken his rings, chain, took the money they had on them and insisted on 150 million ransom.

The clergy said the abductors came down to 100million ransom, warning that if they negotiate, they would be killed.

“I said okay. We will pay you N100 million. After some time, they said where is the money and I said this is Sunday night how can we get money this night and you know that there is this sit at home in igbo land. We cant afford the money now be patient till morning, we will make contacts.”


He said they lost patient, laid bishop Dennis Mark down, raised a knife to cut him, while another pointed a gun at him (prelate) to show that they were serious,

“I told them we will raise the money for you. But the irony of it, where they were situated, the soldiers all of Fulani extraction, Nigerian soldiers, they were there at Lomara junction and this boys were going behind them. Meanwhile they kept their cows somewhere, numbering about 200.

He said some people were taking care of the cows while the abductors were parading them around the bush until they settled at a place,

“they said when are you bring the money? I said by 12 noon, I will call the people i’ve contacted whether the money had been raised and I called them, they said that they are gathering the money and they heard it because they said I will use my phone to talk, they cant use their phone, they don’t want to be tracked

“their leader was born in igbo land but his parents have died. He said he was born around Umuahia Amuzukwu and his father was a cow dealer, the boy understood igbo”

He said the leader threatened to kill them if they informed security operatives when they had raised N100million.

The leader asked them to buy 5 ghana must go bags and put N20million in each bag. They left to pick the ransom while four others waited on them with guns.

“around 5;30pm, the youngest boy who I think is a younger brother to their commander said oga congratulations you are free you can go now. We have got our money, you can go. Let me show you the road.

“they took us to old road, where they wrote welcome to Imo’ and ‘goodbye from Abia”.

“they told us that after buying enough weapons, they are going to bring all those people that were driven away from zamfara, katsina, sambisa forest that they are all coming to locate themselves in igbo land and deal with us.

“he said do you know Ibadan expressway? We are in all the bush there , we are also in the south south, we are waiting for the slightest signal we will finish you people and take over this land. They claimed that Nigeria belong to Fulani.

The priest maintained that military personnel’s of Fulani extraction were aiding the kidnappers who disguise as herders in the daytime but are kidnappers at night.

He called on the government to take a decisive action ‘other wise what is happening in the north will be a child’s play”

On how they picked up the ransom, he said the terrorists came to the pick up spot with a truck without a number plate.

He stated that all efforts made to ensure that he is released was the effort of the Methodist church and her members and not security personnel nor government.
