OMG! Thunderstorm Kills 18 Kidnappers Sharing Ransom

Eighteen suspected kidnappers have been killed by a thunderstorm in a forest in Adamawa State along the Nigeria/Cameron border in the Northeast region as they shared the ransom received.

The Nigerian Police confirmed the incident on Friday and stated that it happened at the Toungo Local Government Area of the State, in the Southern part of Adamawa State on the Nigeria-Cameroon border.

It was gathered that the victims consulted a native doctor to send thunder storm against bandits terrorizing the communities.

A source said, “angered by incessant attacks by the kidnappers, community leaders and victims consulted a native doctor to send thunder after the bandits. They met their Waterloo when they gathered to share the money.”

The source said that local hunters who first located the dead kidnappers could not retrieve their corpses, money inside some bags as well as their weapons because of local beliefs.

The Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Suleiman Nguroje, said on Friday that the incident actually happened within Cameroon soil near the border with Nigeria.

Said Nguroje, “we heard that the victims engaged the services of a native doctor, but it was said to have occurred in the neighbouring Cameroon, which is not under our jurisdiction.”

“The bandits, it was gathered, had collected over N20 million from their wealthy victims between Koncha in Cameroon and Toungo in Nigeria,” a source in Toungo said.
