The evil that ran in Tiger Base pours into the media like a busted pipe without control. Tiger Base has run a syndicate for several years without people being bold enough to speak up. It is like a cult in deep secrecy. Below is yet another testimony of a witness to the systemic horror in Tiger Base.
I live not far from Owerri town. I am not a Lawyer. I am not a politician. I work with a small community group that helps families look for missing relatives. That is how I came to know the name "Tiger Base." At first, it came up quietly. A mother would come asking whether we knew where her son had been taken. A brother would ask if we had contacts in the police. Most of the time, the story began the same way: an arrest during a raid, at a checkpoint, or after questioning. Then the trail would stop.
Families would go from station to station. Some officers would say, "He's not here." Others would say nothing at all. When someone finally whispered "Tiger Base," it was never said loudly. What struck me was not one dramatic incident, but how ordinary the stories sounded. Traders. Students. Motorcycle riders. Young men who had never been to court before. People whose families knew exactly where they were the night before they vanished. Over time, some families stopped coming. Not because they found answers, but because they became afraid.
One woman told me, "If I keep asking, they may take my other son."
That sentence stayed with me. I have seen fathers sell land to raise money after being told informally that it could "help." I have seen children withdrawn from school because their only sponsor was in detention. I have seen families called to identify bodies without any clear explanation of how death occurred.
I have also seen the silence that follows.
No public report.
No independent inquiry.
No clear account given to families.
I do not claim to know everything that happens inside Tiger Base. But I know this: too many families in Owerri know the same pain, so it can't be a coincidence. People here still want security. We fear kidnappers like everyone else. But many now fear the place meant to protect them even more."
The account above is from a community volunteer who wants to remain anonymous for his security.
