“These kidnappers often have people backing them—was anyone else identified?” -Netizen
The recent death of a notorious kidnapper, arrested on October 20, 2024, in Abuja, has stirred intense debate and concern across Nigeria.
The suspect, reportedly from Ankpa Local Government in Kogi State, died in a hospital after being taken into custody.
Now, citizens are calling for clarity on the circumstances surrounding his death, with many suspecting unanswered questions that could impact the investigation and public trust.
On social media, Nigerians are raising concerns and demanding transparency. “Did he have any health conditions before the arrest?” one netizen asked, while others wondered if he had been subjected to any harsh treatment or torture while detained.
Another user questioned, “Where is the doctor’s report showing the cause of death?”
There are also broader concerns about the investigation’s progress and whether critical information was lost with his death.
Some netizens asked if the suspect had been able to provide full confessional statements about his alleged accomplices and sponsors or if any follow-up arrests had been made based on his testimony.
“These kidnappers often have people backing them—was anyone else identified?” a commenter pointed out.
Critics argue that the suspect’s death, if left unexamined, risks justice for his victims and erodes public trust in law enforcement.
With all the billions he made from kidnapping, he was still looking so haggard and malnourished. That shows most of the money went to his Masters. Why wouldn’t they silence him before he spills the beans
