I am begging those officials to deal with these hoodlums seriouly. OMG! Are we going to be afraid of coming to home (Nigeria) because of these huligans. They kidnapped people and make money off their family. The kipnapped killed people if one did not have money to pay. I was born in Nigeria I cannot live in abroad all my life, I have to come home after many years in abroad but when you hear about these idiots, one tends to be afraid. PLEASe FOR GOD SAKE MAKE EXAMPLE OUT OF THESE PEOPLE AND LET OTHERS LEARN THROUGH THEM. I ‘m tired of coming to Nigeria and afraid of my family’s life. PLEASE DO NOT LET THEM GO ON PUNISH!!!!!!!

No excuse is tenable for crime. People should stop being over dependent on govt and should explore legitimate opportunities that abound in our country. The get rich quick syndrome should be eschewed and dignity of labour should be pursued.Those who live above their means should be observed and be reported to our authorities.Shame on criminals that cut ethnic tribal and linguistic barriers to perpetrate evil.
