Nigerian entertainer and activist, Charly Boy, has raised alarm over the deteriorating security situation in the country, following the tragic killing of an Emir after a ransom demand was not met.

According to Charly Boy, Emir of Gobir was abducted, with kidnappers demanding a ransom of N1 billion in cash. When the ransom was not paid, the Emir was brutally killed.
The victim’s son reportedly requested the return of his father’s body, only for the kidnappers to demand an additional N60 million and six motorbikes as ransom for the corpse.

Charly Boy criticized the inefficiency of the nation’s security apparatus, pointing out the existence of multiple agencies like the State Security Service (SSS), Department of State Services (DSS), Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB), Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), as well as the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Despite their presence, the kidnappers continued to engage in phone conversations with the Emir’s family. He questioned how the kidnappers were able to communicate freely with the victim’s family by phone without being intercepted.
He also questioned the role of ministers responsible for communication, telecommunications, and information, particularly highlighting Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, who has been lauded as a technological expert. Charly Boy expressed disbelief that in the modern era, authorities are still unable to track calls made by kidnappers or pinpoint their locations.
Charly Boy’s posts have sparked widespread outrage and concern among Nigerians, who are increasingly frustrated by the rising insecurity in the country.
“While insecurity and kidnapping are escalating nationwide, Nigerian security agencies appear to be focused on arresting, tracking, and subjecting journalists to harsh treatment and brutality. This shift in priorities has sparked concerns about whether their true mission is to safeguard political elites rather than ensuring the security and well-being of all Nigerians.”
