Really? 'Suspected' after demanding N620mil ? When will they be pronounced terrorist then

Suspected terrorists

This also happened, Nigerians are silent.

Pay none to these people going in a take them out lost of civilian lives or not take them out once this becomes the case they will stop it demand is met these kinds of criminal activities won't stop.

Good news

All the members of APC Cabal in Buhari’s administration should start apologizing to Nigerians. Kidnappings, poverty, insecurity, fuel shortage and subsidy scam, nepotism, cronyism, high rate of unemployment ever, galloping inflation, highest number of children out-of-school etc.

Urgent division of Nigeria is the best way to solve this terrorism problem. Nigeria is a shame to the entire world

Another request? Maybe the new Naira. Yet the same failed government is still campaigning to return to power to continue their kidnapping and killings and then will turn around and blame ESN Or IPOB. If this had happened in SE, they’ll accuse IPOB/ESN.

What a country 31 people being abducted without police knowing where they are under 24 hours. please it sounds and looks like child movie or Simpson cartoons

Unfortunately, those who survived today, this will be ur fate tomorrow if you don't rise up now nd go after any fulani around you. It doesn't matter if they're in the police, army or ASS-HOLE-ROCK in Abuja.

As many as 30s persons were kidnapped in Edo and the governor did not declare an emergency and put all the security operatives in his state on their toes? Nigerian politicians are complicit in the killing and exploitation of Nigerians by terrorists.

When dud edo train kidnap happened again ?

FinbarLnd this is ya home land

1 Nigeria 😤

Very Sad. Thank God They No Do There Train Come East, It Was For It To Pain Us, Now we Are thankful they didn't

4. Now travelling by Air is like trying to get a seat on Virgin spacecraft for over 95% of Nigerians. The cost of Air travel is highly prohibitive. No thanks to high level corruption in high places. Nigerians are really experiencing some form of Armageddon! I feel great pity!!

Edo ppl didn't welcome Tinubu well. Hmmmm... Fish de smell

3. Though the FG claims tremendous success in rail travel today, it is meaningless if no one can travel safely in them. All the investments in rail travel has gone down the drains! Yet, the Federal Govt claims it has secured rail travel. The only travel option left now is by air!

2. Whatever means of transportation they used could be tracked down within 15 minutes if the will is there. Look at the jail outbreak for instance. The bandits came on motorbikes for Christ's sake! Yet, they vamoosed into thin air with the inmates. There is complicity!

Our response mechanism to terrorists acts like this is awfully slow and uncoordinated. Its either the training of our personnel is inadequate or they are complicit in these crimes. 31 people abducted! Were they taken away in an aircraft, ship, trailer or on motorcycles? Come on!

Who did they call to demand for the ransoms? I thought Nigerians were mandated to do NIN? Why can't the military or police or DSS monitor the calls & apprehend the abuductors? Just asking for a friend though

They get paid and the vicious circle continues!

How is it even possible to pay ransom to f that magnitude in the face of the new cashless CBN policy of only N500k a week withdrawals. Am sure these kidnappers are damn 😈

Very useless country called British Nigeria

We are owing 77trillion and they want to add 620m to it. Kai pdapc is a ticking time bomb

The world should hear what is happening in Nigeria

How Terrorist dey communicate with all this people sef 🥸

With new Naira notes please 🤣

A vote for Tinubu is a vote for Shettima, which is a vote for kidnappers and terrorists Vote wisely

The N620m is probably to establish MiddleBelt Terrorist Cell to ease their entrenchment in the region in preparation for pre/post elections terrorist activities.And ofcourse our govt.will continue to be reactively insensitive to wasted commoners' lives.KadunaAbujaTrainBloodBath

Make una dey play

Are they Fulani or just suspected Terrorists😀😀

Another method for ipob to fund their election

Us your vote wisely, enough is enough

If we are serious in this country as leaders, there are things that shouldn't be or shouldn't be heard in a public space. 31 persons in captivity is it 100 crayfish?

Don't worry they are on top d matter....

This trend is the new reality!

Buhari will pay

👇👇👇

The Igueben area and the Edo north is not too big for the Nigerian police and army to reconnaissance in three days with drones and personnels. Nigeria must not happen to these citizens

Imagine one Nigeria 🇳🇬 people are shouting’ mad people everywhere

Can Nigerian police, army say they can't find these guys...... How?

And to your surprise oo You would see among those kidnapped people rooting for Agbado o

Cool business that is Nigeria for you best business in town

Buhari terrorist government use this medium to empower the criminal fulani terrorists and Islamic Jihadists that flooded Nigeria from all over Africa. All these evil pervading Nigeria today, , BUHARI AND HIS GANG OF CRIMINALS MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

Vok90

To fund the election I see

One Nigeria advocates, Nigeria agent collaborators. The terrorists demanded for the said amount through what means? Shameless bigot. Wicked fulani herdsmen and iswap terrorists. Nigeria is finished.

When you have a govt that prefers to pamper terrorists in the name of 'repentant terrorists/rehabilitation' you will surely have series of recurring avoidable attacks. Interestingly, the United States doesn't treat terrorism the way we do here. God help us 🙏

APC and kidnappin na 5&6 ❌

Cool for one Nigeria

Imagine the Islamic Jihad fundraising for the Fulanization of the Zoo.

Na small breakfast for our Edo people. Make them bring dem juju out.

May Allah bring end of this situation

The biggest industries created by MBuhari and OfficialAPCNg are terrorism and kidnapping

Buhari legacy

Which of the telephone line are they using to call that can't be track down by the Nigerian government sss? Na only ipob their technology dey work for , yeye de smell

This N620M will be paid and they will use it to acquire more weapons because they are running out of time for the total takeover. I might sound funny but it will happen before our eyes and the politicians u are supporting will Japa with their private jet

With all this money they are paying terrorist for ransom will help to equip this terrorist the more and prepare them more in waging war against Nigeria or even disrupt the election they're gradually achieving their dreams No wonder the US government never negotiate with terrorist

What's the 20m on top for?

For God's sake, are bandits and terrorists staying in the space or under the Earth? Where are the drones and intelligence operatives?

Lovely 🌹, make it 6Bn

The Nigerian media will help the Nigerian evil government to blackmail IPOB as the terrorist while the people kidnapping people in train stations are the angels guiding our bushes. All you brown envelop journalists in Nigeria remember you have a family. Karma is real

Omo

All these terrorists sef why are they so afraid not to be kidnapping these politicians that has kept Nigerians miserably poor? Kidnap these politicians that has so much money instead of poor citizens who can’t even feed well or are the kidnappers working for politicians now?

They will soon meet their waterloo

Did the new naira withdraw policies stopped kidnapping from happening 🤔 🤔

In cash? Them nor dey follow news on cash policy?

When we told you people that Nigeria has expired and disintegration is the only way etc y’all abuse us and call ur names, can you drink an expired milk? It will never taste good 😊 1914 amalgamation expired 2014 😳 and u want Nigeria to be a good country? Terorist is now incharge

20 million each😳😳

Terrorist Fulani, government of Nigeria. Can they ever repent?

Unfortunate. In this election season d cacophony of electioneering means they cry in vain, d kidnappers might as well release them cos nobody send them at this time

Cashout Time. Politicans are using these guys to make money

Ok

This can't happen in 2015 and apc will keep quite, Where's pdp.

Obaseki, them don reach u cash out system.

APC = terrorist party.

🤔🤔

And Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is still in detention ooo

When I say APC and PDP are structures for the enforcement of failures people seem reluctant to realize,call a spade a spade,how dare you say that in us, demand money on what grounds? Vote the failures out of office 😡
