air and muscles are important for both candidates, especially when states like michigan. so how we would affect the outcome this confidential election for us presidential election, 2024 watts, the whole coverage on the, you know, i believe we do have c plus ups on people now even may nibble to says below that banking, updating logos, these, thank you my uncle, let's see in the file. i can screw up to my village and feel safe. but t a. now we get every n u a go everywhere, visit i used to food safety because that a lot of me cheapest and i hear that. so i went to the village, most of the places and let's see. ring back, girls. remember that rallying cry, calling for the safe return over 276 school girls who had been kidnapped by bulk of

around in nigeria. well, that was 10 years ago and despite the campaigns and immense pressure on the government, some people girls are still in captivity to this day. sadly, abductions, have now become a business, and especially children and young people are the victim. so today on the 77 percent, we want to look at how people get objected in the 1st place, who is behind these kidnappings and how they can be stopped. stay tuned for a straight to bade from nigeria and also interviews with kidnappers and experts. my name is, let's show, let's dive right into it. i believe you are watching us from somewhere safe and you don't have to worry about someone breaking into your home and taking you away. but in some parts of africa, the threat of being abducted is real south africa has the highest number of, of the actions on the continent. meanwhile, in nigeria,

school girls are becoming an easy targets. and unfortunately, mass kidnappings are happening where it's already difficult for girls to get an education in the 1st place. but some security is one of the reasons why more than 700 schools were closed in northern nigeria 2 years ago. so what exactly led to this crisis did enough in inmate julia has dramatically evolved over the last system from religious the motivated up the options to have profitable enterprise run by criminal guns known as funded the most in seamless incidence remains the 2014 up section of 207 to 6 schoolgirls bifocal har. um, however, in the ronald west and central regions getting up and has become a business for me on monday, kit is displaced by conflicts with farm is up tend to bundle street creates and um, networks that carry out lots school run, some kid nothings in 2023 alone for about 3600 kids. nothing. square reports at

nationwide. martin and national crisis major has a strong security force. so why is it so difficult to tackle this problem? even the political, really, there been a challenge from the detroit elements. i know that those who treat in the go button to treat the group of renegade individuals who are challenging disagreements you use so forth by the state. and they have their reasons where that justified or not by 2020 full, the crisis have escalated. it been me a good job entails like body who j. n. while, while other residents live in fear, with many lead to the city center is really careful. well, one cannot get enough food to eat or you have your loved one. co is also to be paid

a price that you have never seen me in life. why i sleep in the nights. i don't know. what are we to the next day? we are in fear. sometimes our businesses are not booming well because of these security challenges. high pull bits and unemployment rates push many young people into bundle. well, security forces locked the tools to come by them. yes, there is hope. in august 2024 by june, please this months old and may chuck had not been ring season with phones, phones and other tools on the score. in the course of use the cation of these criminals. the question remains, how can i g, i and this crisis well to, and the crisis security forces definitely need to deal with the perpetrators, the kidnappers, who are they? and why do they believe it's okay to snatch people from their homes or schools or from the streets? we have an exclusive interview with one can never i was and with that. ready good

to can with adding well, so i some people hold it as a profession initially the engaging to read as a form of the vin, our guy. yeah. i'm a know it as being turned into a profession, a select kind of a, do you a web doctor? people whom they suspect of getting something from that's as island, without the guess initially, abduction was done by people who knew the victims and what they could get from them . but it has become widespread because many people migrated and left the place. so they go in search of the free, sometimes they have the victims on the highway and as you go, as i've always use that and they don't care whether those cups of money or not they are going sonya is run, some must be paid to them as well, as it goes through the end of the name of the a lot less so for i will buy car, this is just a business. but can you imagine what an abduction means for the victims? how do you get back on your feet? after spending days, months year's income riveted under the circumstances,

i don't even want to imagine on the sad 10 year anniversary of the 2 books school abduction. we had the chance to talk to one of the girls was taken by vocal her. i'm how i took part in our street debate in that bush with my colleague, edith came on the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent st debates this week. we a back in they do as capital a buddha. now 7500. that's the number of reports of kidnapping cases in a period of one year in this country between june 2023 and july 2024 of us to be some very staggering statistics. the and of course behind every forget is a pressing the people who are going to be speaking to us to be trying to figure out why the situation persist in they do. yeah. and what can be done about it? let's start right here with what i know when we talk about kid, nothing in a do or you might go back to the to book goes and you will actually one of them.

it's been 10 years since you were abducted. do you mind telling us what happened to you that did that? yeah, in school these people just come on the schools and they just tell us that that the so yes, they just got your 2 d some diesel for 3 years. we spent 3 is 4 day on we, i just please. well we have pause and we was to come back to see our parent and is that up to us that we be missing them or this. then we start scabies, and we just say is we start quality and the he job, you know, it's been 10 years since the original kid not being 7 years since you were released . would you say that you've gotten over the trauma? i wonder if that's even an appropriate question. yes, i'm to scam because as to call me to our campus, he's the vocal honda. sometimes

a confused stay at home safe because i'm of the if i have one that goes to to despite what the government did, and despite towards the international community tried, do you feel that it was enough? no, it's not you've. i'm to access to them for our seats that's do day for 10 is do you think that the government has forgotten about the remaining goals? yes, i didn't. so it was stuff like you had a very different experience. she was obviously captured by bulk of around they have some very incredible mutants ideologies based on religion. do you know who your cup to is what and what happened to you, wendy? i come back into nice. then i saw someone uh, plan v. my did. so do out in blood clots uh, looking like for lisa, but they provide their faces. uh and what they have to do um about 18 of them that got it in 18. 47. so i been with them for what uh,

15 days. uh it was uh, investigation is between life and date and the address actually enough. i found some uh, 500000000. i said that i don't have it. i don't know if my final release had been the 100000000 at the corner. it says that the debt looks like money due. okay. we dallas no we, i assume you coming back to me. i found that i'm really sorry that you both went through that. but of course the situation that we're talking about here and they do . yeah. is not unique to these 2. as a matter of fact, let me just see from our audience how many people here knew of someone who was keeping up a news, a friend, or a friend of a friend, you know named julian. okay. so you're saying no, ne julian has been unaffected. yeah. but these are 2 very different motivations, right? it would seem like the book of how rom, it's very clear. they wanted to form a country. where does that disparity come from? when they decided to, in the case of the kidnappers,

for us. so it just started lightly as a conflict between hy, this i promise, which is normally during the harvest among the house on i'm on the fleming. i know it was the house and the full i knew full audience when not familiar with need to find. uh the for line. yeah. the highest and the house is a tribe that has been mixed up by religion. okay. so we are clear on who they are and now you're telling me they start to conflict because of grazing lands because of drug. but how does that then become kidnapping when it literally became kidnapping because of the lack of social justice as to the collection among a security person in the issues of managing their grades and months, they started selling grades a lunch to the promise. so how does have no identity, institutional culture and so on us. okay, so just the, let me just pause there because because it's a huge and very complicated history. but i think we get the gist of it. and you've

talked about the security forces and their response to that 12 yesterday, when we're talking about kids not being, you'd expect to find a put a uniform police officer here. we actually had one and they actually came right up here to a venue. but at the very last minute when they had that it was a debate they chose not to participate. regardless of that, you still depend on the police officers halima and one of your relatives was also keeping up. and i'm just trying to find out as a family when you hear the news, what impact did that have on on you'll find me. it's tries so hard. does pause the video on the show media. how do a plug in them? my treating them in the bush of the shots and crying on the nested in the lead off . come up. i said he's given the government's us would. it's that you've the don't call to give them what the ones that they're going to slow to all of them. so how did you eventually get to a system back, mercedes by good grace,

without being any run. so that's good. i don't know. that is between them and the government. i want to come to joshua because we're hearing some very scary things here. yeah. why people? so they're being, why has this problem continued persistently for so long? the bottom line is money. it's a money making venture. so for example, you this, that small undergraduate into a bigger groups and the more the got the victims, the more money to make 9 sure is a cash based economy. now, what do you use to pay for run some? well, i would imagine if you could have a kid, napa, not a digital currency. yes. because no keeping up, i want to take money by, by wire, by bank transfer. anything because it'll be a trip so long that this cash in the society. the issue of keeping up being is all going any we soon let me hear a few more solutions from the people here. what do you think needs to be done in

order for this to become a problem of the past? so that night julia is no longer dealing with this. i see your hand up to a stop paying them some completely because we are or own was we to missing a number of people that have been keyed in the country so even to keep people tired? no money, no around, so maybe they will have to stop. but tell me that cannot be a solution. ok. so you, you think that it's okay for people to get mad just so that the solution can be found if not. so how much are we going to spend in the paintings? i'm so long. some people you paid on the community. okay. do i see joshua's hand up? i think he wants to respond to this and most of the let me come to you 1st. he say, you know what? in order to ease the button on your family, it's may be better if you had been cute. i'm in support of that. the size of the product you people are taking money to this kid now for us, this kid nothing would not. and uh, and if any one or a victim in to handle,

if i could not 1st loved each life, the government should come, i would buy confess, stating that family at least actually lives with a minimum of uh, i please if i may live because we have money uh okay, i have to say, i'm very surprised that you are leaning towards that. uh, how do you my, let me come to you before i finish joshua. to me what he said is a note to me that also i'm going to give the family will live, bring back the person to kill it, gun. bring him back as limited time. i was good enough, but i did. this is into position that that would not come back, but i do monday they will give to my family probably to be able to see something to do to my children. let me, let me, let me come back to what is the person you're saying that your children give the funding to? the last one is the burden of the family. that didn't feel you. you came back to your family or you're not providing for your family, but it was the government continue to provide for the family that i believe your,

you don't know what government is, do you? the best of that can be dealt with merchant as still um, when he is go you. i do see a new way to stop this. kidnapping. football is need the government in order with disability 6, that is not ready to do their work by step in this uh, get not been assigned you to let me, let me close this up with joshua because we're hearing obviously some very radical solutions from 2 people. who enjoyed the keep that being in one way or another, final thoughts for you to say stop payment of run. so it is be on words. because once your, your 5 though your mother or really to just kidnap you, assess of judgment is automatically impaired. i expect the government to put words into action to ensure that russ on payment is reduced, it cannot be stopped. so we asked what sounded like a very simple question at the beginning of this debate. what is causing the problem of kidnapping? here in a julia very key effect as elaborated. how can you stop that?

not so clear on that myself would love to hear from you, but for now. thank you all for watching the thank you very much. it is for that fantastic street debate a wave. although i have to say the picture painted is pretty grim a so wonder whether the abduction prices in nigeria can be stopped. what solutions already out there? well, let's hear what our expert has to say, dr. kabir a demo c o, a beacon security and intelligence base and nigeria, i'm aware that previously some governors, one of them, we've administered d, a d. federal level. brought together all the articles and they do not approve the traditional religion, letting you community and difficult to them. and they give them to condition the auto group that you've government for the field. that condition they will make sure no you from among the community to join bonded groups under those conditions one include the def, monthly and of all vigilante groups in northern nigeria. yes,

i think the 2nd condition was the provision of fish. i loved unity for the community and as far as i'm concerned this, i know it's difficult to month, but my point is the new months, i know why it explanation has not been implemented really because of the political will. so mister them with says that a lack of political will is why people in parts of nigeria are still living in constant fear. well, in kenya, where objections also take place, it is suspected that elected officials may be behind those crimes. i'm sure you remember the so called jen z protests that took place a few months ago. well, some activists got abducted and their case shows why we need social movements both online and offline, in order to protect people who are brave enough to criticize those in power of every year. hundreds of young canyons abducted or disappeared without a trace for the victims. there is no escape. i'm the way so you have to say that

you can go your best phone shot too many believe those tasks that we've protecting them are in fact the ones instigating the tara, of course fans and fans and friends, full police official but many canyons have had enough of being bullied into submission. if so, wait until is free today. believe that kenya and they will be can, you will be free one day and every other concert and not frequent in june, the gen z protest. sure. can you read score? police open file in peace with protest as getting over 50 people. bill eugene is video griffin, an activist was one of the phones land protest as he shows us. he's safe house where he saw the refuge during this time, opinion and dog. she had nestled between 2 apartment blocks before someone comes some good view of a, a in 5000 to 50 community. and that's a,

that's why i consider these are the 5th. but eugene, sense of safety was advised one night stealing from t of as he approached the safe house when the white's ca suddenly pulled up for mass. men jumped out and forced him inside time coughed and blindfolded. he received no explanation why or why they were taking him. when the cost stopped, he was dropped into a quoted room. oh, as mutant that i live then or after 2, to get off my clothes. and then they asked me, who's funding? and and, and, and, and who was that person that sending it to the streets? eugene was forcibly disappeared. a secret imprisonment and torture. many oh, i rested in public but never taken to a police station or a court of law. office like influenza shay tallies. abducted in unmatched cars as recorded here on cctv cameras. which 315 and forced to disappear and say since

2019 it is becoming suspend logic. we suspect it's a place of if we listen to the stories of people who and forcibly disappear, doing tendencies on the pretty get see is this dies the more desolate and us are the same. and this way, glad craft. so this guy there will be a civilian or petition challenged with these accusations. both the police and the director for public persecutions refused to comment for them. event enforce disappearance is a deeply troubling trend of policy with the aim of in stealing sia and tara on october 20 canyon and celebrate much who john d, honoring those who fought for independence. but gaga uses this occasion to remember victims of police brutality. i believe of this week in your movement,

it was fortunately disappeared in all of us and only released after the high court select him to the inspector general of these with imprisonment dogs. these kenya do cross roads. so the 2 options of you asked me right? a that we do a couple of initiative, which is that are for them, are we have a popular uprising which is that a pollution? it depends on the reaction of the state. if this debt is well come to open dialogue with the people. that is the solution of the ones as freakin number. while you didn't survived his imprisonment after being dumped and left on the side of the road, his domain does failed at breaking him together with older survivors. he's creating a documentary about and judge violence and taja. saying to silence us, we have to do

much about using plans to wait for the upcoming elections to vote for the change the desperate really need to but can jen z wait that long. those who allegedly abducted and touch at them. austin and paul and have long since abandoned the rules . i don't know about to you, but to me the sounds a bit depressing and it leaves citizens feeling helpless. but we've learned that raising awareness about abductions is an important action step. and this is not only the duty of active this but also of the media. so what do we need? a free and independent press. and by the way, we have a lot of end up reports on the topic on our youtube channel. well, now travel to kind of a room where brave journalists are being abducted and blackmailed as a weapon to silence them. me kind of rooney and june, the list and whistle blow

a pull to to was kidnapped off to watching a football match at a nearby cafe unknown men forced him into a call and beat him up, brutally. he says they wanted to kill him just some little i up to the see if i was there, there was a motorcycle that so i can just around the corner. that's when they left and drove off to home and they were convinced that i was dead or should just before that they told me they had a mission and told me to say my last breath. when you talk and say your last pray i, you know what i mean? see, suppose i some church i still trying to find out who wanted to kill him so far. no one has been arrested as evidence tutor documented and published pictures of his injuries. this was not the 1st time he was attacked, budget was the most brutal. he still carries both the physical and emotional scars . mr. moseley sees a trauma for life when i pass the display as i get flushed bucks of the time. why

young ladies? even as guy here on the left side of my face, my, i still suffer from the post traumatic lakehoma. and apart from that is there is, there is also a psychological trauma because you is ranked 100 and 30th out of 180 countries on the world press freedom index. in 2024, count maroon is rated as one of the least 3 countries full press world wide, investigative journalists like paul to to often suffer from repression by law enforcement. fellow journalist martinez, they'll go was tortured to death, and shooter himself spent a year behind boss. he already spend 20 full months bind boss for legit information . look at them and they did the same thing to me. have they need to martinez if you know how he died? you can imagine this touch i was in when i was found. they took my thoughts, i was negative and given much, each on this martinez has to eat his own faces. they took all of his cloth the way

it is, the same kind of thoughts i went through because i was just like these offices advised by passing, the active shooter continues to search for his attack is he wants justice. meanwhile, governmental authorities insist that the country is safe for journalists, but recent events prove otherwise. so we're getting to the end of our show today, and it wasn't one of those uplifting and fun episodes. but indeed, an important issue that we wanted to shed light on. and even though objections continue happening everyday across africa, we have learned that a combination of solutions can help solve the crisis. political will security forces that are not corrupt, higher standards of living, a strong civil society and a free and independent press. i'd really like to know what your thoughts of our show today. so please drop us a comment on youtube. instagram or a tick tock. that's it from me and the whole team. thank you so much for watching. i'll leave you with the phone with the carrier is a very powerful message. months as you made by bern, a boy by n c,
