Afenifere Reveals New Ransome Demands Of Kidnappers

A Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has warned that kidnappers in parts of the country are escalating their demands, reportedly asking for virgins and hard drugs as conditions for release.

The organisation said the disturbing trend reflects a growing boldness among criminal networks, putting vulnerable communities at greater risk.

According to Afenifere, these extreme ransom requests mark a shift from typical monetary demands, signalling an urgent need for stronger security measures and community vigilance.

The group urged government authorities to respond swiftly to prevent further exploitation.

The statement highlighted rising concerns about the safety of citizens, particularly in regions already affected by repeated abductions.

Afenifere called for coordinated action between law enforcement agencies and local communities to curb the trend.

The organisation also stressed the moral and social dangers posed by these new demands, warning that unchecked criminality could deepen societal instability and endanger lives if immediate intervention is not prioritised.
