THEY K!DNAPPED HIS FATHER AND SENT HIM TO GET FOOD” — KOGI COMMISSIONER REVEALS BANDITS’ TACTICS

A disturbing detail has emerged from the security operation that led to the rescue of abducted NYSC members in Kogi State.

Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Femi Fanwo, has revealed how suspected kidnappers allegedly encountered a farmer and his son while hiding around a farm.

According to Fanwo, the abductors kidnapped the farmer and then ordered his son to bring them food, while threatening to kill his father if he alerted security agencies.

«“They met a farmer and his son, kidnapped the father and sent the son to go and get food, with the threat that if you escalate it, your father is gone.”»

The commissioner made the disclosure while speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday, September 2, as he explained the circumstances surrounding the rescue operation.

The alleged tactic shows how kidnappers can use family members as leverage to prevent victims from raising the alarm or revealing their location.

The farmer’s son was reportedly placed in an impossible situation: alert security personnel and risk his father’s life, or comply with the kidnappers’ demands.

The revelation has also raised questions about how many other victims or rural residents may have been forced into similar situations without being able to speak out.
