A bandit kingpin in military camouflage has sparked strong reactions after he went live on TikTok to offer financial assistance to his followers.
Videos of the live session were uploaded on X, formerly Twitter.
During the session, which has since gone viral, several of his followers were seen sharing their account numbers in the comment section.
This elicited anger, with many calling on the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies to track down and arrest the individual.
Writing via @revi_ofthehills, Comr. Isah Muhammed said: "Security personnels cannot find him because he's not holding "end bad governance" placard."
@solbabyz: "The fact this men's are able to use smart phones comfortably is crazy How can Nigerian government not have the technology to track them even if the phones don't have sim cards?? Bro it's crazy how I It's possible to isolate frequency coming out from a certain place."
@Nairaexchanger: "He's exploiting the banking system and telecommunications, while on social media, the government turns a blind eye. Anyone who calls this government responsible is a complete fool."
@Ezeifeka_Obinna: "I don't know why the military have drones, capturing this people is a waste of resources."
@ikechukk: "These ones no get acct to freeze Abi ? No get number to trace Abi ? No get mothers to arrest Abi ?"
@moright20: "Government should ban tiktok."
@ontophilll_: "Why can't DSS use the sender's details from the bank and track them."
@pdauda: "Our bandits are always well kitted in GI gear with full accessories and weapons. The same camo that soldiers will make young people roll in gutters for wearing is what terrorists and bandits show off with. And the CDS or COAS are not huffing and puffing over it."
@abn_charles: "I wonder ooo! I doubt @PoliceNG is able to see videos like this or they are preoccupied with protests and harmless individuals."
