Bandits have freed 40 out of 150 people they abducted three weeks ago at Kuchi in Munya LGA of Niger state.

The villagers, mostly women and children, were released after the payment of ransoms by the community.

Sources in the community said families and friends of the victims contributed money to buy six honda motorcycles, valued at 1.2 million each and add an extra cash of N2 Million for the bandits.

A reliable source who spoke from Kuchi to a PREMIUM Times correspondent in Minna on the telephone on Tuesday said the bandits are still holding on to 110 villagers for whom ransoms are being negotiated.

The source said the bandits have asked for another set of six motorcycles and N2 million cash for the release of another batch of 40 hostages.

They said negotiations were still ongoing between the bandits and community leaders.

Family business no one cares

COMRADES, I was not aware that plenty of the locals of Niger State had been kidnapped, and instead of the governor of the state to work hard for their release he is busy ass licking tinubu

nlfpmod

May hand don rub hand

Transaction has been made

Another cash out 🤷‍♂️

What is happening in this country called Nigeria... Can't bandit be wiped out?

Oh but why?
In my country people have lost their humanity
People's hearts have become so hardened that human lives mean nothing to them
Human lives are wasted and my country men are women move on with their lives as if nothing happened, all because they have lost their humanity
My heart is broken
Oh God! but why

While the Yoeubas are protesting in Lagos because of hunger, Bandits are doing democracy day for kidnapped victims in Niger state.

They are just doing business with people's lives.

Bandits will good heart more than APC Nigeria government

Very soon, Na To Declare these Northern States as Bandit caliphate. Well, e nor concern me because they are just business men as a Governor once said. Maybe before the end of BAT tenure, no single person go dey live for North again except Bandits.

Okay Aboki kidnapped Aboki and and later released by the same Aboki, that's purely lunatics family affair

mbahdi:
Transaction has been made

Yes o. Barter System. Lolzzzzzz

This is good news because those bandits are heartless like their leader

Hahahah

Criminal politicians in Nigeria call it non kinetic

In memory of so-called Democracy day in Nigeria Shettima orders his boys to honour him

On the other hand the gbegiri sellers on the road, the Ewa agoyin sellers, the Ewedu and amala sellers have all hit the streets of lagos screaming like their father, ebi n pawa ooo!

You must learn a lesson!

APC.... War!!

May God deliver Niger state from all these bandits

Bandits negotiate for ransom from the citizens and the government is not saying anything about it but chose to fight people who are 'Unknown' . Angel Michael, blow the trumpet and let's call it a day.....

See as transaction dey go down for north…why can’t the same energy channeled towards killing the endsars protests and the army mighty power in the east be reciprocated in the north…something really is going on and we are just looking

It's unfortunate that we aren't taking news like this serious..

This monster keeps growing daily in our backyard and its the locale that are actually bearing the brunt..

Where's the DSS to infiltrate this group or caution them viciously?...they are busy warning unforseen individuals not to be violent,

Truly it now makes sense to me that most of these Bandits, Boko, UGM are all silent government agents

So sad..

I wonder o my brother.

Iwaeda, Ogododo brothers don release their victims, dem no come open thread to update us. Na still your people una dey suffer. make una enjoy your ransome dey chop tuwo.

The fact that ...the security men were not involved before making payments echoes a lot of capacity to handle the situation ...

What you get when government is weak. The military in Niger allege that the bandits are being protected by some top officials
