A report by the Wall Street Journal has revealed how the Nigerian Air Force coordinated ransom payments to armed bandits in exchange for an anti-aircraft gun seized from the Nigerian Army.
The deal was brokered when the military realised that it would be too risky to leave the weapon in the hands of violent criminals operating in an area the presidential jet would fly over. The rugged, lawless jungle that covers parts of Kaduna, Zamfara and the president’s home state of Katsina has served as a vast haven for bandits terrorising Nigeria’s northwestern communities. A large portion of kidnapping plots emanates or terminates in or around the forest, security agencies have previously warned.
“He's departing for Daura this weekend for home rest. He just wants to go and rest. He will return next week,” one of the sources told SaharaReporters on Wednesday.It is not clear why the Nigerian military opted to settle the bandits with the said amount. However, it may not be unconnected to the bandits' strikes against the military.
Is very unfortunate nigeria is failed state
They didn't tell us exactly how much was involved. It was more than what they said.
Buhari is dead and his impostor becoming a terrorist organisation with Niggeria government now.

Not a news because Nigerians know that there are romantic links between Buhari admin and Fulani Herdsmen and Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria. These Terrorists are reportedly paid to avoid international shame . Govt hides number of innocent Nigerian soldiers killed by terrorists.
I don't know who the man is but this is the video. Happening in your country. Where did they pick him from and why did they give him that post.
Why Nigeria media always promote lies of curropt jihadists tyranny Buhari regime?Punch newspapers make a change,Nigeria media make a change.Challenge this govt with truth.Since 2015 lies to lift millions out of poverty but have not build one factory,industry for employment. Shame
NAF just denied this report and regarded it 'FAKE NEWS' It's so unfortunate that SR always lead in spreading of Fake news, many Nigerians are not gullible, do the proper investigative journalism
What a shameful. ..shame ...
Was Gumi involved?
Nigeria as a nation no longer knows what shame is, what do you expect from a government that its foundation is built on a lie
Nothing about these type of news shocks me again! As far as I am concerned, Buhari and his appointees know who and where the bandits are!

One thing the present and the past Nigerian government failed to realize is that there is a limit to a man's patient and everyone knows it. Nigerians aren't gonna take this anymore.
As usual, the NAF has come out to deny it. That there was nothing like that oo. Hmmm am not surprised sha, I was not expecting them to admit it
U can fool everyone in this zoo the intellectuals the big big degree holders and the rest of them. but u can't fool me the dot man
And all wicked mass murderers are cowards and Tyrant Buhari is not an exception. The regime paid $50,000 cash to bandits to retrieve the anti-aircraft machine gun for Buhari's safety. ElbinawiTweets
Ever wonder why N76.67million earmarked 'Aso Rent rent' in 2022 budget? The money is to pay the landlord (fulani bandits) whenever they come to collect. No where else in the entire world except Nigeria, where fulani janjaweed bandits call the shot on over 200million population.

For a whole president of a country? Sorry to say nigeria has no sitting president.
Bandit self Dey kidnap military 😂
Terrorism in Nigeria is state sponsored. Mike Pompeo.
Sometimes daredevil kidnappers will write you about their intention to kidnap you & urge to pay to avoid abduction.People mostly paid because the threat is real. That commander-in-chief of Armed forces paid such money in his country/hometown is a joke to you? Jungle Oba 👇🤣
We are borrowing because of insecurity funding.
When the hunter becomes the hunted what happens..... Seeking refuge in insecurity for security will lead us to both disaster and safety, our choice.
