A result of a recent survey it conducted shows
that you are more likely to be abducted in the
South West than any other region in Nigeria.”
Contrary to the perception that kidnapping is
more prevalent in the South East and South South
geo-political zones, a recent survey shows that
people are more likely to be kidnapped in the
South West than any other region in Nigeria.
The 2013 National Crime Victimisation and Safety
Survey conducted by CLEEN Foundation with
support from the United States based Macarthur
Foundation shows that the South West has the
highest incidents of kidnapping with 5 per cent of
the respondents from the region saying they have
either been kidnapped or attempts have been
made to kidnap them.
The South South and the South East closely follows
with a 4 per cent kidnap rate. The region with the
lowest rate of kidnapping is the North Central
region with 2 per cent.
Rape and Attempted Rape
With a 10 per cent incident of rape or attempted
rape, the South South region is the rape capital of
the country followed by the North East (6 per cent)
and the South West and North West (4 per cent
each). The South East is the region with the lowest
propensity for rape with just 1 per cent.
The survey also shows that the national incidence
of rape almost doubled from 3 per cent in 2011 to
5 per cent in 2013. Most of the respondents who
claimed to have been raped said they were raped
in and around their homes. Thirty-three per cent
said they were raped nearest to their homes; 19
per cent were raped in their homes while 13 per
cent of cases of rape occurred in schools or places
of work.
Robberies

The survey shows that cases of robbery rose 1 per
cent from last year nationally. Kaduna recorded
the highest cases of robbery with 43 per cent
closely followed by Akwa-Ibom 42 per cent and
Cross River 39 per cent. Jigawa and Kano States
recorded the lowest cases of robbery with 5 and 3
per cents respectively.
The survey shows that more needs to be done
about security in and around homes as 63 per cent
of respondents said robberies occurred in homes
or near to home.
Physical Assaults
South East states recorded the highest rate of
physical assaults, the report showed. Enugu State
had the highest cases of assault with 84 per cent,
closely followed by Ebonyi (77 per cent) Rivers (58
per cent) and Anambra (50 per cent). The cases of
physical assault in Abuja rose from 15 per cent
last year to 24 per cent. However cases of physical
assault dropped drastically in Niger State from 68
per cent in 2012 to 6 per cent this year. Also
physical assault dropped from 23 per cent in 2012
to 8 per cent this year in Jigawa State.
Meantime, an Akure Magistrates’ Court recently
remanded a 25-year-old man, Taiwo Ebenezer, in
prison for allegedly kidnapping a 21-year-old,
Olayemi Olatunji.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Sunday Adedapo, who
handed down the verdict, said Ebenezer should be
kept behind bars at Olokuta Prisons in Akure
pending advice from the State Director of Public
Prosecutions (DPP).
According to reports, the court did not take the
plea of the accused in spite of efforts by his
counsel, Mr Ademola Abemkemo to secure bail
for him.
The accused, whose address is unknown, is facing a
two count charge of conspiracy and kidnapping.
The prosecutor, ASP Pelumi Adejuwon, had earlier
told the court that the accused with others still at
large, kidnapped Olatunji.
Adejuwon said the accused and his accomplices
were armed with a gun, cutlasses and some other
dangerous weapons when they committed the
offences.
According to him, the accused committed the
offences on May 7 between 8.00 a.m. and 6. 00
p.m. at Ayeyemi Street, Ondo.
He said the kidnap was, however, foiled when the
victim raised an alarm which attracted passers-by
who apprehended the accused.
The offences, Adejuwon said, contravened Section
516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ondo State,
2006.
The offences also violated Section 3(1) of the
Special Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Abduction Law of
Ondo State, 2010.
The case was adjourned till June 22 for mention.

I don't think so

Do we really need all this ethnic bashing?

wengerjay:
I don't think so

You are not expected to

Owk i reserve my comment

on what statistical standard is this bias information cull?

Kidnap statistics say that South West has a rate of 5%, While South East has 4%. Tell me OP, what is the statistical difference between 4% and 5%?

Lies

Hmmmmm

ko ni da fun vanguard!

Ask those that conducted the research, apart from physical assualt SW top SE in every other crime rate in Nigeria not just kidnapping.

I think now is the time to call the integrity of that bastard Adams of O P C to question

lt is not about ethnic bashing because every region has crimes the people there tend to commit more.

This report is a perfect definition of FAKE. I guess the researchers are only conversant with the west because we obviously know where it happens most. Teacher Don't teach me nonsense.

Abeg how them take calculate am?

this is fake. kebbi state has not recorded a single case of robbery in the past two years and they are not the least?
likewise sokoto state.

1% and its not just 1more person but if extrapolated can give you 10,000persons

Not surprised anyway, i already knew this.

You are being mischievous a bit. Lemme break it down, if the sampled population is 200. It implies that in the South West, 10 persons may have being kidnapped. Likewise, 8 persons may have been kidnapped in the South East. Let us neglect the sampling error, this is what I call speculatory statistics with skewed sampled population. For example, did each region get the same number of random sampling?

the lord is good,

How can u conduct a survey by asking people if they have been kidnapped before? What about gathering data of kidnap victims in the last 5 years to determine the rate of kidnap by region. Nonsense journalism.

You see what we are saying why not just accept the result in good faith rather than question the research. I thought your people where always bashing us as the kidnap capital of Nigeria, yet when we told you it was the southwest you denied it, am very happy this research just vindicated us.

This is simple.

The shift in crime statistics occurred when the criminals were flushed out of the south east, which used to be their base approximately five years ago. What these statistics has neglected to state (because the pollsters need to be politically correct) is that a disproportionate number of the perpetrators of these horrible crimes are Ibo criminals, driven out of their home bases by productive engagement between their state executive arm and the security agencies.

Southwest APC executives are busy embezzling their own security votes, while they divert their state resources to the private tax regime imposed by by the APC national leadership.

The beauty of life is that God continues to judge every one of us by the works of our hands. Every single account will be settled, including the hidden ones.

more figures from the survey....

With a 10 per cent incident of rape or attempted rape, the South South region is the rape capital of the country followed by the North East (6 per cent) and the South West and North West (4 per cent each). The South East is the region with the lowest propensity for rape with just 1 per cent.

Hmmmmm.......

Hehehe even SA call them thieves

Even criminal activity do migrate to condusive and profitable areas. Can't RFID be used to bug those hefty ransoms and track the kidnappers back? NPF?
