A viral video from Katsina State has taken social media by storm, capturing a shocking and unexpected turn of events.
In the clip, a man narrates how a group of bandits abducted several villagers and demanded a staggering ransom of ₦100 million for each hostage.
However, the situation took an astonishing twist. The villagers, who recognized the bandits, launched a daring counterattack by kidnapping the bandits’ own family members.
They held them hostage and delivered a firm message: “Your families are with us. Harm our people, and we’ll do the same to yours.”
For three intense days, tensions ran high. Eventually, the bandits yielded, releasing all the kidnapped villagers unharmed.
In an unexpected gesture, they even provided each victim with ₦30,000 for transport back home.
The video has since sparked widespread laughter and admiration across the internet, with many praising the villagers’ courage and unconventional strategy, proof that sometimes, bold action is the best defense.
