June 4, 2026

A video reportedly obtained by GLINTNEWS has sparked widespread reactions across social media after it allegedly showed a former All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman of Koko/Besse Local Government Area of Kebbi State and one of his associates being humiliated by suspected bandits in the Birnin Gwari forest.

The footage, which has been circulating online, generated intense discussion among Nigerians, with many users expressing shock, concern, and frustration over the country's persistent security challenges. While the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, the video quickly became a trending topic across several social media platforms.

As discussions intensified, netizens flooded comment sections with a mixture of sarcasm, criticism, and humor.

One social media user described the incident as a private matter, jokingly writing, “Sincerely, this one is family matter. No one should interfere. They will settle it lol.”

Another commenter suggested that no one is immune from hardship or misfortune, stating, “The breakfast go reach everybody.” The expression is commonly used online to imply that everyone eventually faces difficult experiences regardless of status or influence.

A third netizen made a politically charged remark, writing, “On his mandate they shall stand.” The comment appeared to reference political affiliations and the broader debate surrounding governance and security in the country.

The reactions reflect growing public frustration over the activities of armed groups operating in various parts of Nigeria, particularly in areas that have experienced repeated cases of kidnapping, banditry, and attacks on communities.

Security experts have repeatedly warned that the continued activities of criminal gangs in forests and remote communities pose a significant threat to public safety and national stability. Birnin Gwari, which spans parts of Kaduna State and connects to neighboring regions, has long been identified as one of the areas affected by bandit operations.

The viral video has also reignited conversations about the vulnerability of both ordinary citizens and prominent individuals to insecurity. Many users noted that criminal activities do not discriminate based on political status, social standing, or influence.

As of the time of filing this report, authorities had not issued an official statement regarding the authenticity of the footage or the circumstances under which the individuals were allegedly captured and humiliated.

Meanwhile, social media continues to buzz with reactions, with many Nigerians calling for stronger security measures and renewed efforts to tackle banditry and kidnapping across the country.
