A terrorist has issued a shocking threat, boasting that his group—already responsible for the kidnappings of multiple students in Kebbi and Niger States—will soon begin abducting soldiers and politicians, boldly declaring that “there is nothing the government can do about it.”
Terrorists claim student abductions, issue new threats against security forces and officials
This disturbing claim, which surfaced in a widely circulated video on social media, has triggered nationwide alarm and deepened public concern over Nigeria’s escalating insecurity. The speaker, appearing confident and unchallenged, bragged about the group’s operations and hinted at plans to expand their targets beyond civilians to government officials and security personnel.
The threat comes at a time when northern Nigeria is witnessing a surge in mass kidnappings, especially involving schoolchildren. The video has inflamed public anger, with many Nigerians questioning how criminal groups have grown bold enough to issue such statements openly without fear of repercussion.
The online reactions reflect a troubling mix of fear, frustration, and disbelief as citizens grapple with the worsening security situation across the country.
Social media users react with outrage, fear and criticism
@TaraBlinz: “This kind of boast shouldn’t even be possible in a functioning country. How did we get here?”
@n95ly: “Abeg government officials make them carry all of them. Na them hold the funds, na them dey live the life. Abeg leave innocent citizens, carry the senior men wey matter.”
@justkency: “The current state of Nigeria. We have emboldened criminals and made them courageous. Even they have a spokesman who goes from one media house to another pleading their case.”
@official_olando_: “If you guys had started with politicians and government officials, who would have been complaining???”
Several commenters expressed fear that the threats could mark a dangerous new phase of insecurity if not addressed immediately, urging the government to act decisively before the situation deteriorates further.
