Kidnappers thriving on your cash? Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) says enough urging security bosses to make ransom payments illegal, enforceable, and the end of bandit bucks.
In an open letter from Prez Isah Abubakar (Jan 3, Kaduna), copied to NSA, Defence Minister, Service Chiefs, and IG: Ransoms are bandit “oxygen,” funding guns, goons, and grief. Despite troops’ grit, desperate families and firms keep the cycle spinning time to break it.
Demands: Gazette laws NOW, blast them nationwide, prosecute payers without mercy families, corps, all. Swap deals for drone ops, signal jams, rapid rescues. Companies? Ditch payouts for private-state security teams.
Abubakar gets the heartbreak but warns: One ransom fuels national hell. NYCN offers grassroots sensitization with NSA. 2026’s our shot history’s watching. Starve ’em out.
