Kidnappers now ask ‘Do you smoke?’ before deciding victims’ fate – Disturbing reports claim abductors are killing Nigerians for organ harvesting instead of ransom.
A new wave of fear is sweeping across Nigeria, and this time, it is not just about money.
Reports reaching Toktok9ja Media suggest that kidnappers and bandits are changing their methods. According to several accounts from survivors and people familiar with how these criminal groups operate, ransom is no longer the only thing on their minds. Some victims, after being taken deep into camps, are allegedly killed so their organs can be removed and sold.
One video that has been circulating online has left many listeners shaken. In the recording, a narrator explains that when some captives arrive at the camps, the first question they face is:
“Do you smoke?”
“Do you take hard drugs?”
At first, the questions seem odd. But the explanation behind them is terrifying.

According to the account, victims who smoke heavily or use hard drugs are sometimes seen as less useful. Their organs may not be healthy enough. On the other hand, those who appear clean and healthy are treated as more valuable. Not for ransom. For something worse.
Imagine being taken from your car, your farm, or even your school. Imagine lying on the ground, hands tied, and the person holding a weapon asks if you smoke. And you realise in that moment that your answer might decide if you live or die. Not because of a negotiation. But because someone out there is willing to pay money for your kidneys, your liver, or your heart.
It is hard to confirm every detail in these stories. Some claims may lack solid proof. But even without full verification, one painful truth remains: Nigerians are living in a state of fear that keeps getting worse.
Every morning, families wake up not knowing if their loved ones will return home by evening. Parents watch their children leave for school with heavy hearts. Travelers check and recheck routes, avoiding lonely roads and night journeys. In many villages, people no longer visit neighbours after sunset.
Across the country, kidnappings have become so routine that some communities talk about ransom payments the same way they talk about hospital bills or school fees. Farmers are scared to step into their own fields. Students have been taken from classrooms. Passengers vanish from highways. And the families left behind are never the same again.
The emotional weight is heavy. Some victims come back alive but carry invisible wounds that never fully heal. Others never return. Their families are left with endless questions, sleepless nights, and the pain of selling land, cattle, or savings to pay ransoms that sometimes still end in loss.
Now with these reports of organ harvesting entering everyday conversation, the fear has become deeper. Many Nigerians feel there is no safe place left. Not in their cars. Not in their homes. Not even on a bus with twenty other passengers.
This is no longer just about crime. It is about human lives losing their value. It is about a society growing tired, afraid, and broken by violence, poverty, and the feeling that help is not coming fast enough.

If you must travel, stay alert. Avoid roads that are known to be dangerous. Let someone know your route. Keep in touch with family. And always be aware of your surroundings.
May Nigeria never reach a point where people are hunted like items on a list. Until then, let us keep speaking up, keep praying for safety, and keep demanding action before more innocent lives are taken.
