When Kidnappers and armed robbers collect ransom in the South, you will know them by their ostentatious way of life.
Their lifestyle becomes flamboyant, buying expensive cars, properties, and surrounding themselves with sophisticated girls. In one world, their lifestyle will change.
But these bandits and Fulani kidnappers are different. They don’t go to Owambe parties, no good cloth, no education, no expensive cars, no properties but they collected billions as ransom.
My question is, what do they use the ransom for?
Are they working for godfathers?
Are they bankrolling a political party or moving the money out of the country?
Most of these bandits and Fulani kidnappers paraded on TV don’t look like people who have ten thousand naira in their account. They don’t have account numbers.
So, what happened to the billions they’ve collected in ransom. What bank was it deposit into?
How come no bank has raised an alarm of huge above-counter deposits.
Maybe some big men may be behind all this madness going on in the country.
Our security agents need to widen their investigation and tell us the truth.
We must know that we are Nigerians first, before any other thing.
The truth will heal our country if we decide to come clean.
