Are you mad or what? This man was kidnapped by Fulani Herdsmen. He later said it when he was interviewed by newsmen. Everything no be Ipob mumu man.

It seems that thing wrong with your ear has affected your brain. If you have fulani herdsmen still kidnapping Igbos, what is the job of UGM and ESN? I guess they are only useful for killing innocent Igbos.

I thought it's now a crime to pay Ransome?
Government and their useless bill. They will not rescue the masses and also want to prevent them from rescuing themselves.

I still strongly opined that the Kaduna-Abuja rail track should not be opened until government have rescued everyone kidnapped (including the child that was born in captivity).

What kind of country is this?

Now they are focus on electioneering. Shame to all of them. Tinubu, Atiku, Yemi-Stealbanjo, Peter Obi.....and the lackadaisical and sleeping incumbent Bubu!

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.
You're 100% correct. Add a tracker to the moneybag and it'll give the location of the kidnapper's den. The government isn't bothered about these evils going on in this country

According to an unverified source, the same government that's supposed to fight the crime are the chairpersons the men of the underworld report to. Names were mentioned according to the confessing military personnel. So if the rumour were true, do you knowingly scuffle your own enterprise?

That's why the seemingly logical and easiest thing to do becomes herculean in our Nigeria. One day, everything will come to light. Our Utopia will come and we will shout Uhuru!

They don't need to attack them. They share the money together. This is the bitter truth.

Methodist Prelate Gives Chilling Account Of His Experience With Their Kidnappers, Make Disturbing Revelations

The Methodist Church Nigeria Prelate, His Eminence Samuel Kanu Uche, have narrated his near death experience in the hands of kidnappers.

The Prelate was kidnapped alongside the Bishop of Owerri Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dennis Mark and the Prelate’s chaplain were on Sunday, kidnapped in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia state.

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.

“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 N20 million 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.

Just follow the money from a distance. And you'll nab the whole kidnapping ring. Pick them off one by one even before they know that they have been made.

Blame the NPF. Maybe if we have State police forces, we can blame the governors too.

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.
Baba calm down, to raise 100mili in 24hours to release a whole the prelate of the Methodist church of Nigeria, is nothing, it's not rocket science n it's achievable even in 12hours.

The Church erred in broadcasting this.
If they plan to continue in service without armed security 24/7 then they only advertise themselves for more abductions.
And the State will have no pity because ransom payment is against the law these days.
Whether we like it or not paying ransoms publicly does not help particularly in a weak State and collapsing economy.
