Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos, a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives, has narrated how his constituents attempted to trail some kidnappers by paying ‘marked’ money to the abductors of their traditional Chief. Bagos narrated the ordeal during a recent interview on Channels TV.
The crime of kidnapping has become a topic of concern to many Nigerians. However, there have been stories of kidnappers demanding money as ransom for their victims.
Narrating his ordeal, the lawmaker said, “These kidnappers can not release their victims without collecting ransom. My community’s Chief in Plateau State got kidnapped, and I joined other community members in contributing money for ransom for his release. We ‘marked’ the monies before we paid ransom to the kidnappers. We used the method so that we could later Identify the money we paid. Security officers in Plateau recently claimed that three of the said kidnappers got killed in my constituency. We saw the corpses, but we are yet to recover the ransom. We can identify the money paid as ransom to know if the slain suspects are behind our ordeals in the area.”
