The hunters, who recently undertook a long journey to confidentially brief a prominent community advocate, disclosed deeply troubling allegations involving both the DSS and military personnel stationed in their region.

Alarming revelations have emerged from a part of Southwestern Nigeria, where local hunters have accused some operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and soldiers of compromising t security efforts through corruption, negligence, and misconduct.


The hunters, who recently undertook a long journey to confidentially brief a prominent community advocate, disclosed deeply troubling allegations involving both the DSS and military personnel stationed in their region.

They insisted on delivering the message in person, citing the sensitivity of the information and fear of interception over digital channels.

“I just had a visit from the top hunters in a part of Northern South Western Nigeria. They spent hours and hours on the road to come and tell me some very bad and confidential things. It was not the stuff they wanted to discuss over the phone or the internet,” the source said.


At the heart of the allegations is the DSS’s alleged abuse of sophisticated telephone tracking technology—meant to identify and rescue kidnap victims—now reportedly being used to extort money from the very criminals it was designed to catch.

According to the hunters, some DSS operatives have been accused of collecting payments from kidnappers in exchange for concealing their locations. A few of these officers were said to have been recently arrested and transported to Abuja in leg chains.

“The hunters said the DSS operatives make use of the sophisticated telephone tracking system to locate kidnappers and their victims. Then they extort money from the kidnappers in return for hiding their true positions. They said some of them were recently arrested and taken to Abuja in leg chains,” the source said.

The action of the security operatives was described as betrayal and outright sabotage of national security.

In a similarly damning narrative, the hunters alleged that soldiers formerly involved in t patrols have now been sidelined due to a series of “transactional” behaviours that have eroded trust.

These include open extortion of motorists at informal checkpoints, careless conduct during operations leading to the loss of hunters’ lives, and inappropriate relationships with local women—including advances toward married women—funded by bribes extorted at roadside "toll gates."

Drivers allegedly hand over ₦500 notes and ask for ₦200 change in full view of the public, as soldiers collect these tolls openly, turning national security checkpoints into cash points.

“It also concerns the soldiers who work with the hunters. Both the DSS and soldiers are now overwhelmingly transactional. Transactional to the point where the hunters are no longer involving the soldiers in their t patrols,” the source said.

“The reasons they gave point to the death of fellow hunters due to the operational carelessness of soldiers. Transactional ‘toll gate’ operations on commercial and other vehicles in broad daylight, dating the local women and enticing the local women for ‘dredging’ including making advances at married women with the ‘toll gate’ money collected.”

Disturbed by the worsening situation, the hunters said they were now reverting to traditional methods of protecting their communities. One chilling warning was the mention of “Magun”—a deadly traditional trap used to punish sexual offenders—suggesting that local men were ready to deploy ancient justice to defend their families.

“They say it’s only a matter of time before a headline reads: 'Soja Lu Magun' (Soldier killed after sleeping with another man’s wife),’” the source added, hinting at the growing tension between the local communities and the security forces deployed to protect them.

An army of sheep led by a lion VERSUS an army of lion led by a sheep, who do you think will win?

Thats the case of Nigeria. Corrupt head is equal to corrupt body but a good head can heal a bad body. Thats why madness is one of the hardest case to self medicate.

Nigeria

Wonders shall never end

Not surprised in the least.

The way these kidnappers, bandits terrorists etc, operate boldly without any hindrance tells a lot.

Nigeria,theater of the absurd!

This is a hefty allegation dat need to be investigated

No wonder the alacrity with which the perpetrators of the deteriorating insecurity operate with. Nigeria is a lost cause.

NiN will get them according yo one alfa ganusi during buhari time.







Dss don

State police is inevitable .

State police is the best solution to this rubbish.

Let's every governor be responsible for the security of his own domain.

Nigeria should be regionalised and let every region have its own army and laws guiding the ways they operate

The problem with Nigeria is not government or any institution. The problem is Nigerians themselves. We always want money. More and more money. And we are ready to comprise a lot for it. From the ordinary person on the streets to those in the highest echelons. Everyone is all bout dat money. We're even worse than Americans and Americans loooove money. I can believe this story because years back when we were back in campus, we used to rent strap and groundnut from soja.

....useless malistration of mandate thieves..they have nothing in the head other than stealing..organising owambe & chasing people's wife..

It's the government that allows Nigerians to be Nigerians

When there is lack of consequences people misbehave

Nigerians are among the most well behaved on earth... If you give Americans such ineffective government for 6 months they would overthrow the government

Ipob doesn't even need to do much to achieve their dream of disintegrating nigeria corruption and greed amongst nigerian govt officials and security agents will easily do it for them.

hunters are being hunted..
Corruption have eaten deep into the system.
Even the army is now as corrupt as the police.

And who runs the government? Aliens??

Stupid country

Failure of leadership is the problem of Nigeria not Nigerians

This is the legacy of the APC/Buhari/Tinubu and co.
They flooded these sensitive security organisations with misfits because of tribalism and petty politics. Most of the recruitment that happened under buhari into these organisations were skewed to favour the North. Those ones are finding it hard to be ruthless in fighting crimes. When you flood government agencies with ethnic henchmen and partisan thugs, thisbis what you get..

Only in Nigeria

I feel regional policing will be better to experiment on first.
If the elections are credible and the right people are brought into power, is then one can trust the state police.
