INSECURITY: A man who lives in Taraba State was kidnapped.

The kidnappers demanded ₦50 million as ransom. After his family sold his properties and car, they were only able to raise ₦30 million.

They pleaded with the kidnappers, who later agreed to accept the ₦30 million. They instructed that the money should be delivered to a local government area called Karim Lamido. They also demanded that only one person should bring the money, warning that any slight mistake would cost the man his life.

When it was time to take the money, every family member said they could not afford to take such a risk.

The man's son was willing to take the money, but he was still a small boy and not yet 20 years old.

After a few days without hearing from the family, the kidnappers threatened to kill the man.

His mechanic, who had recently worked on his car and lived in the same area, heard about the situation. He visited the family and was informed about what was happening.

The mechanic accepted to deliver the ransom to the kidnappers.

Early the next morning, he left for Karim Lamido. When he got there, no commercial motorcycle rider was willing to take him to the location described by the kidnappers, so he had to trek for almost two hours.

Throughout the journey, the kidnappers stayed on the phone, directing him at every turn. The route was mainly cattle paths rather than roads people normally used.

When he reached the second forest, he saw two men waiting on a motorcycle. They called him over and told him to follow them.

According to him, one of the men was carrying an AK-47 rifle. He sat between them on the motorcycle, and at that moment, he said his final prayer.

The journey took another two hours before they arrived at another location, where four more men were waiting. They confirmed the money.

He did not see the kidnapped man there, but the kidnappers assured him that the man was alive and would be released immediately after the money was confirmed.

After confirming the ransom, the kidnappers released the victim in Gombe State. In fact, they put him inside a vehicle heading towards Taraba State, gave him his phone back, and allowed him to call his family to confirm that he had been released.

The kidnappers then instructed him to turn around and never look back. They gave him directions, and in less than ten minutes he was already back in Karim Lamido town.

It turned out that the kidnappers had deliberately given the mechanic a long and stressful route while bringing the money in order to confuse him. However, they later showed him the shortest route back to town, which took less than ten minutes.

The most remarkable part of the story was that the mechanic's wife was heavily pregnant and almost due to give birth during that period. Despite the risk, he chose to help a customer who had always brought his vehicles to his workshop.

"To my colleague, please if you are personnel, don’t open f £ or t£ gas on peaceful pr0test£rs. Let them exercise their civil rights.

Even if an order is given, I understand, but use your brain as a human being. Don’t open f £ on peaceful pr0test£rs anyhow. Allow them to exercise their rights.

Because I don’t know how you will sleep if your child, your wife, or your mother is one of those in the bush as k!dn@p v!ct!ms. I don’t know how you will lie down and sleep in peace.

I know there are ev!l cabals using ins£cur!ty as a tool of distraction. They are harvesting our solid minerals and using it to enrich themselves, while ins£cur!ty is used to confuse and distract everybody.

So you that is going to open f £ on peaceful protesters, you must be failing in the oath of allegiance that you sw0r£. Apply a bit of professionalism in this job.

I know the b@d cabals will not like my message, but it is my choice to tell the truth and only the truth..."

Those who are comparing the Adelabu's sister and her twins situation to the Ogbomoso kids and their teachers are totally wrong.

It is wrong to compare the urban gang of kidnappers who engage in copycat crime to make money and hide victims inside a flat within the community to a band of terrorists operating deep inside the bush. The two set of criminals have different motivations and agenda.

The Ogbomoso children and their teachers will be rescued, and government/security agencies are not selective as falsely claimed. The approach to the two incidents can't be the same.

We should be happy that the woman and his twins are safely home while we pray for quicker rescue of those still in the bush with their abductors.
