March 11, 2024: In an unprecedented move, bandits have set the stakes alarmingly high by demanding a staggering N40 trillion ransom for the release of 16 residents kidnapped from Gonin Gora, Kaduna. This demand, coupled with requests for 11 Hilux vans and 150 motorcycles, marks a chilling escalation in the tactics of abduction for ransom in Nigeria, pushing the boundaries of the crisis to new, unthinkable limits.

Curious Comment: Recall that, it was in the same Kaduna State that the so-called bandits, on Thursday last week abducted over 287 students from a primary and secondary school in the Kuriga community in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna. If they are demanding N40 trillion ransom for 16 people, what would the syndicate be demanding for 287 students?
