Videos of the session were shared on X (formerly Twitter), prompting significant backlash from Nigerians who were outraged by the bandit’s open flaunting of his illegal activities.

The incident has led to calls for immediate action from the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies to locate and apprehend the bandit.

Here are some of the reactions:

– Comr. Isah Muhammed, via @revi_ofthehills, remarked: “Security personnel cannot find him because he’s not holding an ‘End Bad Governance’ placard.”
– @solbabyz questioned, “How can Nigerian authorities not track these men even if their phones don’t have SIM cards? It’s possible to isolate frequencies from specific locations.”
– @Nairaexchanger criticized, “He’s exploiting the banking and telecom systems while the government looks the other way. Claiming this government is effective is laughable.”
– @Ezeifeka_Obinna noted, “With drones at their disposal, capturing these individuals should be a priority, not a waste of resources.”
– @ikechukk asked, “Can’t they freeze their accounts, trace their numbers, or arrest their family members?”
– @moright20 suggested, “The government should consider banning TikTok.”
– @ontophilll_ inquired, “Why can’t the DSS use the bank details to track him?”
– @pdauda pointed out, “Bandits are flaunting military gear, while young people are punished for similar attire. The military and police seem indifferent.”
– @abn_charles wondered, “I doubt @PoliceNG even sees these videos or are too preoccupied with protests.”

In response, Nigeria Police Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi explained that the police cannot apprehend all criminals simultaneously. On X, Adejobi urged Nigerians to acknowledge the arrests that have been made, emphasizing that the police and armed forces are doing their best.

He responded to a user’s post featuring suspected terrorists flaunting ransom money, saying, “We can’t catch all criminals at once. At least recognize and appreciate the arrests we’ve made. We need collective and individual efforts to address insecurity and other issues in Nigeria.
