Inside Delta Kidnap Gangs: Networks Run by Northerners, Southeast, and Delta Natives

By Diafa Doubra,

Fresh reports have revealed that kidnapping in Delta State is no longer dominated by a single group but has evolved into cliques run by individuals from the North, Southeast, and Delta itself. These gangs reportedly operate independently but often collaborate, making the crime more difficult to track and control. Security sources say the syndicates are well-organized, with each clique controlling specific areas and targeting victims for ransom. The rise of these diverse networks has fueled growing concerns about safety in the state.
