Why do kidnappers succeed in collecting ransom from their victims? Based on my job, I learnt something special this week from Security Agents in Mali that we went on a rescue mission together. I don't know if the Nigerian Security Agencies are in collaboration with kidnappers to take ransom and share together, if not no kidnapper can succeed in taking any ransom where security formation is effective.
The story is that, I received a message from Nigeria concerning a 16 year old girl that was trafficked to Mali for sex trade. This victim called her parents about the situation and they passed the message to me from government agency for an urgent rescue.
When I called the number that the victim used to call her parents and I asked the traffickers to send the victim to me so that she can go back to Nigeria, they refused. Later they remove the line from their phone, now the number is out of use. I now informed a security agent about the situation because what is important is to rescue the 16 years old girl from sexual exploitation.
Now, the number I used to contact the traffickers is no more in use. I don't know the name of the village the victim is. I sent the number that they have removed and brake to the security agent. After two hours, they notify me the name of the village and the current new number the traffickers are using. We went on a mission without calling the new number. We arrived at the village in the midnight because it was about 15 hours journey. The second day, Information reach us the exact location the phone number was last used before they switched off the phone. After an hour, information came again that the person is having appointment with somebody by 11:00am. We hang around the place. When the person came around, there was a vibration from one of their security gadget to know the person coming with the number. We monitor her entry to the house. We were able to rescue the victim on 20/12/22. No call. Nothing.
So ransom collection in Nigeria could be between the kidnappers and security agencies. If not, no Nigerian should pay ransom to any kidnapper if really our policemen have the necessary security gadgets.
This is just a trafficking issue and not that some criminals will hide somewhere and calling people twice to pay ransom. You cannot call three times before being caught in Mali.
That is the reason I said, Nigerian Security Agents could be in collaboration with the kidnappers to take ransom from people.
Aliyu Nuhu.

Katsina Govt Confirms Death of Retired Major General Rabe in Bandits’ Captivity
By: Zagazola Makama
The Katsina State Government has announced the death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar while in the captivity of bandits.
The government, in a statement issued on Friday by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr Nasiru Mu’azu, described the development as tragic and a major loss to the state and the nation.
According to the statement, the retired senior military officer died from complications arising from diabetes and hypertension while in captivity.
The government said that despite sustained efforts by the state government and security agencies to secure his release, the situation ended in tragedy.
“The deceased retired general died a natural death from complications of diabetes and hypertension,” the statement said.
It noted that the late officer’s abduction and subsequent death represented not only a loss to his immediate family and Katsina State but also a monumental loss to the country.
Governor Dikko Umaru Radda expressed deep condolences to the family of the deceased, describing the incident as a dark moment and a reminder of the need for intensified efforts against criminal elements threatening peace and security.
The governor reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to working closely with the Federal Government and security agencies to ensure that those responsible for the abduction are brought to justice.
He also assured residents that the government remained resolute in its determination to eliminate banditry and safeguard lives and property across the state.
The government prayed for the repose of the soul of the late retired Major General and urged citizens to continue supporting security agencies in the fight against insecurity.

In the 70s and early 80s, your first one million Naira qualified you to be called a millionaire. With that amount, you could build a house or more, buy a car or more, and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle of that era. You could even start car dealerships with many brand-new vehicles.
The question is:
Can someone who earns their first one million Naira today be called a millionaire?
If not, how many millions does one need to be considered a millionaire today?

@BashirAhmaad I guess you only watch the video with emotional support for your master. Going through VDM video was absolutely nothing incriminate over what Tinubu said during his campaign. However someone carefully edited the video and inserted and audio clip to make it look genuine.

This trending video of VDM discussing a fake voice note linked to the President, it is bad, extremely bad, and no matter how anyone chooses to see it, it clearly crosses all red lines. Contents like this will not only affect the President, his administration or his party; they have the dangerous potential to ignite tensions and create unnecessary chaos that could end up hurting innocent people.
Content creators and social media influencers must understand the weight of their words and the possible consequences of spreading unverified and inflammatory materials.

@BashirAhmaad MA can't win a single LGA in Bauchi state. All the candidate under the useless party of APC cannot withstand the Bala Kaura group. He has done what's right to the people of Bauchi which is impossible to any party to defeated his anointing candidate in the state pls.

If M.A eventually wins the race, he will only be there to complete his remaining one term. This means Yusuf Tuggar and other interested aspirants can still pursue their ambitions in 2031. The only difference, however, is that the governor at the time will wield significant influence in deciding his successor.
Abdool Moh.@abdool_moh
Yusuf Tuggar took a calculated risk. Bauchi State governor’s tenure is coming to an end and the race is wide open. He stood a higher chance of becoming the next governor of Bauchi in 2027 compared to 2031 when the sitting governor at that time would be seeking reelection (which is almost automatic). I wouldn’t leave a high profile guaranteed ministerial seat to contest for governorship. Governorship can wait

Only God knows the degree of entropy Ambassador Seriki-Gambari, the formerly anointed successor to Kwara State Gov, must have gone through in the last 48 hours when it dawned on him he would no longer be the heir apparent to the incumbent, awaiting coronation, which is what the APC direct primary essentially does.
I hope those who had already seen themselves as SSG, Chief of Staff, Chief of Protocol, SAs, PA and other countless would-be appointees would not slip into depression on the realisation that their anchor would no longer bear the anointing of the governor, who had to change his mind on whom to support in a spate of 24 hours.
It is a sad experience.
The crowd. The throng of emergency supporters. A coterie of businessmen and contractors already angling to land juicy contracts from the state government would have to switch allegiance to the new man, who has just clinched the APC gubernatorial ticket.
In any case, Seriki's fate is far less worse than that of David Lyon, a governor-elect, who, less than 24 hours to his inauguration as the gomina of Bayelsa State, had his victory judicially terminated because his deputy-elect had Oluwole credentials.
In fact, Mr Lyon was said to be doing the last leg of his parade rehearsals when the news filtered in that he would be another Moses who would not see the promised land. I doubt if Lyon has ever recovered from the tragedy, which was clearly not his making.
For Seriki, there's always another day. He is young. There's more to what he can achieve with his life than being the governor of his state, which would have been the honour of a lifetime, though. He is a Muslim, I suppose. In Sha Allah, there is always another day.

@ZagazOlaMakama Are you not ashamed of yourself staging fake narratives to a point you were discredited by authorities in your state.
English

Even more remarkable was the extraordinary professionalism displayed by the supposed victim while “escaping.” Apparently, modern sniper attacks now allow enough time for stable camera angles, American accents and commentary while maintaining uninterrupted narration and carefully managed video framing.
At different points, the narrator claimed he ran two kilometres. Later, it became five kilometres. He was we was in the middle of God knows where when houses were clearly seeing behind him.
Yet somehow throughout the entire footage, there was no exhaustion, no panic, no disorientation, no visible trauma and not even the shaky breathing expected from somebody allegedly escaping death under sustained gunfire. He even took his time to mount his microphone to avoid background noises.
One almost expected background music and movie credits to appear. But perhaps the most embarrassing part of the production was hidden in plain sight inside the video itself.
While viewers were being told that heavily armed jihadists were actively attacking mourners, some women in the background were calmly walking around without panic. Others appeared unconcerned while some youths suddenly being prompted to run during portions of the recording.
Ironically, the only visible armed individuals in sections of the footage were local armed Berom youths. That small detail completely shattered the carefully packaged “helpless civilians under jihadist siege” narrative being exported to foreign audiences.
Governor Mutfwang’s intervention therefore matters because it represents something increasingly rare in today’s toxic information environment: An admission that propaganda itself has become part of Plateau’s security problem.
The Plateau crisis is already painful enough without staged documentaries pretending to be genocide evidence.
If peace is ever to return fully to Plateau, it will require honesty from all sides not scripted panic, selective outrage and propaganda disguised as activism.
Because eventually, reality catches up. And when even the governor says, “It is obvious that the video is fake,” the performance begins to collapse under its own weight.

“It Is Obvious the Video Is Fake” Gov. Mutfwang Dismisses Viral Plateau Burial Attack Video as Fake, Warns Against Rumour-Mongering
By Zagazola Makama
Governor Caleb Mutfwang has dismissed the viral video circulated by Plateau- based activist Masara Kim Usman alleging a “jihadist attack” during a burial ceremony in Barkin Ladi, describing the footage as fake and deliberately designed to cause panic.
The governor made the remarks during a recent Security Council meeting while addressing the growing security issues and the spread of unverified security reports and sensational narratives on social media concerning the security situation in Plateau State.
“It is obvious that the video is fake,” Mutfwang said while reacting to the controversial footage that had been widely circulated online and featured in international interviews.
The video had claimed that armed Fulani attackers stormed a burial ground during funeral rites, allegedly opening fire on mourners from surrounding hills with sophisticated weapons.
However, The Nigerian Police Force who provided security at the scene of the burial and other relevant security agencies in the state found no confirmed casualty, injury or medical record linked to the alleged attack.
The governor’s comments came barely two days after he cautioned social media activists, media, bloggers and online champions against spreading rumours and unverified reports capable of inflaming tensions and damaging the image of the state.
“We are not saying that every incident should be swept under the carpet. We keep accurate data of all accounts of incidents,” the governor said.
“We are not saying that there is no attacks but many of you that are in the hurry to put it on social media, you are destroying the state.”
He warned that the reckless dissemination of rumours and unverified information could endanger lives and worsen the fragile security atmosphere in affected communities.
“And sometimes you put on social media what you heard as a rumour. You dont know the lives you put in danger sometimes with what you put on social media. We need to be careful,” he added.
Mutfwang further alleged that there were deliberate efforts by certain actors to portray Plateau negatively before the international community through exaggerated and misleading narratives.
“There is a deliberate plan to demarket Plateau State and to tell the world that Plateau state is not anywhere that anyone should visit,” the governor said.
“But let me reassure Nigerians and the world that Plateau State remain the home of peace and tourism nobody will take that from us.”said the Governor.
According to the activist’s dramatic narration, heavily armed “Fulani jihadists” surrounded a burial ground, opened fire from nearby hills with sophisticated rifles and sniper weapons, and forced terrified mourners to flee while abandoning corpses in shallow graves.
The scene was presented to international audiences as evidence of an ongoing Islamic terrorist extermination campaign against Christians in Plateau State and Nigeria.
Yet after all the cinematic shouting, breathless commentary and social media outrage, one stubborn problem refused to disappear:
Nobody died, nobody was injured, no hospital treated victims, no corpse emerged from the supposed attack, no security report confirmed casualties, no family identified anybody allegedly shot during the incident. Which raises a very uncomfortable question for the propagandists:
What exactly were the “snipers” shooting at?
Because for an alleged coordinated jihadist ambush involving sophisticated weapons against a crowded funeral gathering, the complete absence of casualties is not merely suspicious, it is devastating to the credibility of the entire narrative.

Pantami, Private Jets and the Quranic Test of Modesty
If it is true that Professor Isa Ali Pantami regularly chartered flights from Abuja to Gombe for political engagements at a cost reportedly running into thousands of dollars per trip, then Nigerians have every right to ask serious moral questions.
This is not just about money. It is about the image of a scholar, a preacher, a former public officer and a political actor who is expected to understand the weight of modesty, accountability and public example.
Qur’an 17:26-27 is clear in warning against wasteful spending. That verse is not only for poor people managing small salaries. It is also for powerful people, public figures, politicians and religious leaders who move around with influence while ordinary citizens are struggling with food, transport, school fees, rent and medical bills.
A chartered flight may be legal. It may even be privately funded. But legality does not automatically make something morally wise, especially when the person involved has built a public image around religious discipline, humility and service.
This is where the contradiction becomes loud.
How do you tell citizens to be patient, modest and God-conscious when political movements are allegedly wrapped in luxury that most of your followers cannot even imagine? How do you speak about sacrifice when one trip can swallow what many families may never earn in years?
Pantami has every right to defend himself, clarify the figures, explain the funding source or deny the claim if it is false. But until then, the question remains fair.
Ya Sheikh, leadership is not only what you preach.
It is also what your lifestyle teaches when the cameras are off.

Three Years of Peaceful Executive-Legislative Relations Is Proof That President Tinubu Is the Master Strategist
Since 1999, this is the first time in Nigeria's history that there has not been Executive-Legislative tension.
In addition to a messy skirmish with his Vice President, President Obasanjo, a great Nigerian leader, had five Senate Presidents and fought with all of them. His tenure also witnessed three Speakers and fought with two of them, Ghali Na’Abba and Aminu Bello Masari.
President Yar'adua had disagreements with the entire National Assembly over his failure to temporarily hand over power to Vice President Jonathan when he travelled abroad. He also had separate disagreements with then House Speaker, Dimeji Bankole, over allegations of corruption against Mr. Bankole, which led to a physical brawl in the House.
President Jonathan faced a hostile House of Representatives after mass defections in 2014 made the APC the majority party in that chamber.
President Buhari fought with his Senate President and, eventually, and incredibly, charged Senator Bukola Saraki with Armed Robbery.
However, since May 29, 2023, to date, no issue has arisen between President Tinubu and either the Senate of the National Assembly or the House of Representatives. Rather, there has been peace, tranquillity, and symmetry, which has made the 10th Senate as well as the House of Representatives the most productive and effective since 1999.
All this is down to President Tinubu's mastery of political strategy.
Because of the cordial relationship between the President and the Legislature, Asiwaju has been able to pass most of his legislative agenda, including the Nigeria Tax Act, 2025, and its three associated Bills, including the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill, collectively known as the Tax Reform Bills, as well as the amendments to the 2022 Electoral Act.
This is just one more reason why Nigeria should not tamper with the existing structure in the Three Arms of Government. Re-electing President Tinubu in 2027 is a task that must be done if Nigeria is not to come undone.
