Days after the incident, a video of one of the victims rescued from the bandits’ den surfaced online, and a man who saw it reacted to it.

According to a post made available on his page @mr_yolak via a popular social media platform, X, formerly Twitter, he mentioned that something isn’t normal regarding how the victims were released.

He made the statement after he watched the video of one of the victims narrating his experience in the bandits’ hideout.

The young man in the said video said:

"We started the program around 5. Thirty minutes into the program, we just heard gunshots. To my own understanding, I didn’t know it was a gunshot, I thought it was just sparking of some wire. By the time we knew, they’d surrounded the whole church, even some people began to see drops of blood everywhere."

He spoke about how the bandits boasted of having control over the areas.

"It was unimaginable. They had the courage to tell themselves that they’re bandits. They made us know that there’s no one that can just slip away without being caught and with what we saw, nobody can escape. That place that they’ve dominated, they know all the routes surrounding all those bushes within Kwara and other states."

After the video of the statement made its way online, it caught the attention of a man who quoted the post that contained the video and asked important questions.

His first question was if the government paid ransom to the bandits to secure the release of the victims.

He said:

"I’m glad they are safe now, but did the government pay their ransom?"

He went on to ask who was actually responsible for the release, the security agencies or the vigilante group.

He continued:

"Was it security agencies and vigilantes that rescued them?"

He mentioned that the process that led to the release of the victims is very fishy.

He added:

"The rescue mission is too fishy, but of course I’ve worked close to Eruku so I know the terror from Osi-Eruku-Egbe axis."

Many individuals who watched the video reacted to it as it trends on social media.
