This morning, June 4, 2026, local hunters in Oka Akoko made an arrest of what seems to be a few armed bandits, all wielding AK-47 rifles. As the crowd gathered at the scene, the tension in Ondo State was already high.
A father gives his son a traditional charm before sending him to school, amid rising concerns over kidnappings, and teaches him how to use it in case of danger.

Video shows the moment a man was attacked by two assailants in Surulere. The incident is being described as a suspected assassination attempt, as his phones and bag containing money were reportedly left untouched.
Good evening Emma please for a firsthand information please come to Kano yourself and born kwankwso's posters or try to beat an NDC official I think that will be much more easier for information.
As a survivor of kidnapping and banditry, I can tell you that these criminals believe that no matter how much they take from you, you will eventually work and earn it back after your release.
Let me use myself as an example. After my family paid the ₦15 million ransom they demanded, along with other items worth over ₦600,000, they still weren't satisfied. They continued demanding more money and eventually asked for ₦55 million. They even told my mother to sell her house and car to raise the money.
Because my family rented a vehicle to deliver the ransom and other requested items, the kidnappers assumed we owned the car and were wealthy. They kept insisting that we sell all our properties and hand over the proceeds to them.
Omo, it was a terrible ordeal. The fear, pressure, and emotional torture were overwhelming. Watching my family struggle to meet their endless demands was heartbreaking.
One painful reality is that they often target ordinary and struggling people like us because we are easier to capture than the elites, who usually have better security and protection.
This is why we cannot continue to stay silent. Kidnapping and banditry have destroyed countless lives, families, and dreams across Nigeria. We need to raise our voices, stand together as a nation, and demand urgent action against insecurity.
Today it may be someone else's family. Tomorrow it could be yours. Enough is enough. 💔🇳🇬🙏🏽

“We’re Not Safe In This Country Anymore. My Brother Was Kidn@pped On His Way To Abuja From PH By Men In Army Uniforms Who Stopped Them At a Checkpoint. And The Nigerian Police That Is Supposed To Be Protecting Us Is Out There Demanding ₦500,000 To Investigate The Kidnap With About 9 Other People With Him In The Bush, People’s Fathers, Sons, And Husbands. This Has Been a Traumatic Experience For Us. Nigeria Has Failed Us.” ~ Lady Cries Out 💔😭
Three weeks ago, my 23-year-old neighbor was kidnapped on her way to Kontagora in Niger State.
While in captivity, the bandits repeatedly raped her taking turns sleeping with her night after night. Still, they kept bargaining with her father over the phone, demanding ransom even as they violated her.
Her father fought with everything he had. He hustled day and night, borrowed from everyone, took loans, sold whatever he could determined to bring his daughter home.
When he finally gathered the full amount, he called the bandits and begged them, ‘Please, give the phone to my daughter. Let me speak to her. I want her to know I’m coming for her.’
They gave her the phone.
In a broken, traumatized voice, she told her father: ‘Dad, do not suffer yourself looking for the money. They have been sleeping with me. I’m traumatized. I can’t forgive myself. Even if I’m released, I’ll kill myself. Don’t bother paying the ransom.’
Those were the last words she ever spoke to him.
While her father was still holding the phone, he heard the gunshot. He heard his daughter being killed. Moments later, the bandits sent pictures of her remains to him, a final act of cruelty.
A 23-year-old girl. My neighbor. Someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend gone in the most horrific way possible.
This is not just one story. This is the nightmare too many families are living in Niger State and across Nigeria. Young women snatched on the roads, violated, used as bargaining chips, and discarded like nothing.
Living in Nigeria has become truly scary. You wake up, you step out, and you don’t know if you or your loved ones will return home. The fear is constant. The pain is constant. And too often, justice never comes.
Rest in peace to my neighbor.
