Nigerians react
Monday Ebrimoni commented on Facebook:
"Gradually the country is tending to a fail state. The number (one) citizen took an oath to protect lives and properties, but the reverse is the case.
"Everyday we keep hearing bandits/kidnappers did this and that. Even if the situation is worst in North, we are one Nigeria and should condemn this ill governance."
Boomy Oladele said:
"Where is Minister for Negotiation? Gumi to the rescue. I guess these ones get enough foodstuffs.
"May God deliver us in Nigeria, may we Nigerians receive boldness to fight against these evils. Enough is enough!"
Akharaiyi Anderson Ebanehita said:
"I thought someone said kidnaping of this Emir was a joke taking too far. Now that the kidnappers are demanding 200 Million Naira, am waiting for that same man to say something."
