With Rimamnde Shawulu
308 ABDUCTEES are free. But Nigeria recorded an estimated 5,091 violent deaths in just three months.
Between August 2 and 5, the country saw relief in Kwara and Niger states, another deadly village attack in Sokoto, and a disturbing security problem around illegal mining in Taraba.
The questions behind the headlines are even more troubling:
* How were the 308 captives released?
* Was any ransom paid?
* Were their captors arrested?
* Where did the illegal miners dispersed from Taraba go?
* Will higher military salaries make communities safer?
In this edition of Security Update, Rimamnde Shawulu separates confirmed facts from speculation and explains what these developments mean.
