Nigerians React as Kidnappers Demand ₦600 Million Ransom for This Family’s Release
The growing wave of insecurity in Nigeria has once again sparked outrage after kidnappers demanded a staggering ₦600 million ransom for the release of a kidnapped family.
The incident, which has thrown the victims’ community into shock, highlights the worsening state of lawlessness across the country. Many Nigerians have taken to social media to vent their frustrations, describing the demand as another proof that Nigeria is fast becoming a failed nation where human lives are traded for money.
“This is not just kidnapping; it is pure terrorism,” one angry Nigerian tweeted. “A country where families are priced at hundreds of millions while the government looks away is no longer functioning.”
Others lamented that the government’s repeated assurances of tackling insecurity are mere lip service, as citizens continue to fall prey to bandits and kidnappers on a daily basis.
Security analysts warn that if unchecked, the outrageous ransom demands could embolden criminal networks, leaving ordinary Nigerians even more vulnerable.
For now, the fate of the abducted family hangs in the balance, with the kidnappers insisting on full payment before release.
