The Federal Government has revealed that kidnapping has now become one of the biggest sources of funding for terrorist groups and other criminal networks across the country. According to the government, proceeds from ransom payments are being used to purchase weapons, recruit members, and sustain their operations.
Officials warn that the growing trend is strengthening terror groups and undermining national security, stressing the need for coordinated action among security agencies, state governments, and communities to curb the menace.
The government also urged citizens to cooperate with law enforcement and avoid paying ransoms, noting that such payments fuel further violence and embolden criminal groups.
