A suspected kidnapper in Delta State has been apprehended by a local vigilante group after being found with ₦4 million in cash. The dramatic arrest was captured in a video that has since gone viral on X, formerly known as Twitter. The footage shows the suspect being restrained by a man, preventing any escape attempt while a crowd gathers around him. Despite the massive sum of money he was caught with, the suspect appears disheveled and unkempt, which has caught the attention of viewers online. The vigilante group’s swift action led to the suspect being handed over to the authorities, where the police officer can be seen securing the cash in a black nylon bag for further investigation.
In the video, a voice narrates the unfolding situation, drawing attention to the contrast between the suspect’s appearance and the large amount of ransom money he had in his possession. The police officer handles the cash carefully, placing it into a bag as the camera pans to capture the whole scene. Social media reactions to the video have been fast and furious, with users expressing a mix of disbelief, humor, and anger at the suspect’s appearance and the larger issue of kidnapping in the region.
As the video gained traction, the comment section on X (formerly Twitter) quickly filled with responses from netizens who offered their own thoughts and insights into the situation, as well as their views on the kidnapping issue in Delta State.
