Bandits Demand N40 Trillion Ransom for Kaduna School Students: A Call to Action Against Insecurity – Daniel Bwala.
The recent abduction of over 200 school students in Kaduna state, Nigeria, has once again brought to the forefront the urgent need to address the escalating insecurity in the country.
The abductors, believed to be bandits, have shocked the nation by demanding a staggering sum of N40 trillion along with 150 motorcycles as ransom for the release of the abducted pupils.
The brazenness of such demands underscores the audacity and impunity with which criminal elements operate in certain regions, posing a significant challenge to law enforcement agencies and policymakers. Lawyer and politician, Daniel Bwala, has spoken out against these heinous acts, calling for decisive action to end the reign of terror imposed by these criminals.
In response to the bandits’ demands, Daniel Bwala emphasized the need for a comprehensive and resolute approach to combat insecurity in the region. He highlighted the fact that mere non-kinetic approaches, which focus on dialogue and negotiation, may not be effective in dealing with criminals whose primary motivation is economic gain.

“It is only when the insecurity is ideologically driven that you need a non-kinetic approach; when a crisis of banditry is motivated by economic gain, a non-kinetic approach would not stop it,” Bwala stated.
His stance shows a growing sentiment among Nigerians who are weary of the incessant cycle of violence and ransom kidnappings that have plagued the country, particularly in regions like Kaduna. The demand for such an exorbitant ransom further shows the need for a paradigm shift in how security challenges are tackled.
Bwala’s call for a “full-blooded war” against the crisis economy perpetuated by these bandits echoes the urgency felt by many citizens who have borne the brunt of insecurity in various forms, from kidnappings to armed conflicts.
