Nigeria Kidnapping Crisis Raises Nearly $6 Million — 6dAcross Nigeria, a surge in kidnappings and attacks by bandits and Boko Haram-linked groups is destabilizing regions from the northwest to the northeast, with schools repeatedly targeted and communities left vulnerable. SBM Intelligence data show 7,825 people kidnapped and nearly 7.78 billion naira ($5.8 million) in ransom paid over July 2025–June 2026, underscoring how criminal networks are funding themselves and eroding public trust, while authorities pledge rescues and action against ransom networks.
