They are not daring. Yahoo boys and kidnappers/bandits work hand in hand with banks. Banks get their cuts. Remember Evans, the billionaire kidnapper.

And we have an NSA , and other security outfits doing nothing, just collecting salaries and allowances

What Tinubu is doing in office is what I can't comprehend, why not sack this I.G who has shown more interest in rigging elections than go after bandits and kidnappers

All the billions of dollars in extra defence budget is useless. The billions if not up to Trillions of Naira used to do NIN and SIM too is wasted. Nigeria has laws and structures for the sake of having them and paying salaries of loyalists not for the sake of a functioning society.

I hope this bastards will not force governor to clamp down on these virtual banks?

Maybe the money was paid to their informants and accomplices as compensation.

According to El Rufai they are not bandits, they are business men.
Are you saying that business men shouldn't transact their businesses through bank?

Some governors have had dialogue with them so they know where they are.

When the government is serious about security they will do something about it

Protesters are the only problems we have.

Bandits are not a problem. That's why NSA, DSS, EFCC and co won't track down the accounts of bandits
