How can we expect bandits to abandon kidnapping when they are making millions from ransom payments? Today, peace negotiations take place; tomorrow, ransom is collected, and innocent Nigerians continue to suffer. People are being kidnapped, families are forced to sell their belongings to secure the release of loved ones, and communities are living in constant fear. As long as banditry remains profitable, what incentive do they have to stop? Peace cannot be achieved through negotiations alone without accountability, effective security measures, and efforts to dismantle the criminal networks financing these attacks. Nigerians deserve lasting peace, not a cycle of negotiations, ransom payments, and renewed violence. 💔🇳🇬
