Nigeria kidnappings: Who’s behind them and what do they want ...Middle East

Kidnapping in Nigeria has evolved into a lingering security threat that feeds a vast network of criminal and Islamist groups. From July 2022 to July 2023, at least 3,620 people were abducted in Nigeria. That’s according to an analysis of Nigeria’s kidnapping industry published by SBM Intelligence, an Africa-focused consulting company. Mass abductions are also common, with an average of six people taken for every kidnapping incident. Kidnappers demanded ransom totaling at least 5 billion naira ($6.4 million or €5.8 million in June 2023) from July 2022 to June 2023, the report found. However, as a sign of Nigeria’s struggling economy and soaring unemployment, only $387,179 was paid in ransom
