Ex-APC Chairman, Elderly Companion Plead for Rescue from Kebbi Bandits
A distressing video shows two elderly men from Koko-Besse LGA in Kebbi State—one a former APC chairman and his associate—appealing for urgent help after being abducted by bandits. They warn that their health is rapidly deteriorating in the forest camp. The ex-chairman describes long, painful treks through remote woods and life among dangerous reptiles. He laments the lack of progress in negotiations and calls on families, community leaders, and authorities to intervene before it’s too late. His companion, identified as Yahya, also appeals for quick action to raise the ransom demanded by their captors. The footage has renewed concerns over the rising tide of kidnappings in northern Nigeria and renewed calls for stronger security measures.
