A new video reportedly posted by bandits shows an elderly man being held captive as his abductors demand ₦500 million for his release.
The footage appears to show a bandit commander in the background taking several calls. Bandits are said to travel three to five kilometres to areas with mobile coverage so they can send ransom videos.

Akinwumi Tobi @AkinwumiTobi3: Doubt this kind of business will ever stop in the North unless the people rise above it .
Xetra @Xetrai7: Kids in background play smile enjoy …still young….unfortunatly
Inveestor @Inveestor_: Unless we start relentless exterm*nating these terrorists on sight things won’t change. Any logistics suppliers or informants should also be summarily execut$d immediately upon confirmation. No need for arrest at d moment, it would just be a waste of time
ADINOYI @bossmuhadan: Just look at the small small children.

Savest Favour @favour19175: Worst part of this whole thing is that they are not afraid of anyone not even the government
JOHN €MODI 💎 @ogendenoni: Apparently, the FüLa have turn the country into their hunting ground. It’s quite unfortunate those who we used to know as Herdsmen with sticks raring cattles and other livestocks are now armed with ÂK47 terrørizing citizens. The government is complicit!
Civik @CivikDark: Family business
Zannah Mohammad @ZannahMohammad: Allah ya kubutar da ku
Philip Tion @philip_tion: These guys can be neutralized in a second but our security forces are not pressing more. They’re trying but this is rubbish in a so called federation.
