Bandits display cash obtained from kidnap ransom [Video]
A video showing armed bandits flaunting large sums of cash allegedly obtained from ransom payments has surfaced online, sparking fresh concerns over the worsening insecurity in Nigeria.
The footage was shared on Saturday by Bakatsine, a journalist known for reporting on conflict and insecurity in Nigeria’s North-West region.
Sharing the clip on his X account, he wrote: “This video shows bandits flaunting money obtained through ransom payments. May Allah bring an end to this tragedy and grant Nigeria lasting peace.”
DAILY POST reports that kidnapping for ransom has become one of Nigeria’s most pressing security challenges, particularly in the North-West and parts of the North-Central, where armed groups have repeatedly targeted communities, travellers, schools and farmers.
Despite sustained military operations against criminal gangs, attacks and abductions continue to be reported across several states.
