Part of the victim include a medical doctor and his wife.

 

He said the victims, who were released after the ransom payments also told their families that they were kept in a forest not far from the Kontagora Army Barracks.

It is not as if we are underrating the military capacity to fight bandits and terrorists but it is not right to just dismiss the complaints of our people. We want the federal government and concerned authorities to know their plights.

 

He said;

“The communities said the military training ground had become a safe haven for bandits who always come out of that forest to attack them, kidnap people, and take them to the same Forest. Even the kidnapped victims who were released after the payment of ransom said they were taken to the same bush and they could see the Kontagora Army Barrack from where they were kept by the bandits.

 

“What we expect from the military was to seek more information about what victims have told us and flush the bandits out. But you cannot just come out to refute what a member of the House of Assembly had said.

“Let me tell you, as the military refuted what one of our members said Wednesday, on Thursday, October 31, bandits blocked the road between aban-Lamba and Beri and kidnapped all Passengers in 5 vehicles. More than 20 passengers were kidnapped and taken to the same forest. From Kontagora to Beri is a vast land belonging to Army Barracks Kontagora

 

“So, refuting the complaint of people is not right. The military should do the needful and flush out these criminals. The military is made to protect the people. So, we will continue to speak out to let the federal government and all stakeholders know the plight of our people,” the Speaker added.
