[b]The Rising Cases Of Kidnapping In The Southwest

Kidnapping remains endemic in the country despite concerted effort of security agencies to combat the scourge.

In the last two years incidence of kidnapping has increased significantly assuming the status of what some people describe as an industry in the country.

Kidnapping in the country is attributable to ransom payment and rituals.

Kidnappers demand money, mostly in the tune of millions of naira before releasing their victims.

Crave for wealth also constitute significant motive behind kidnapping for ritual purpose whereby human body parts believed to induce supernatural power are used for fetish purposes.

Ironically, there have been cases of stages-managed kidnappings where people have colluded with kidnappers to effect their own abduction and later share the ransom with the supposed kidnappers.

Kidnappers go for their victims either in their homes, place of worship or on the road.

While most of the victims regain their freedom after the payment of ransom, some other murdered, even after ransom is paid.

Sadly, many victims have to grapple with post-kidnap trauma even years after been released.

Unfortunately, what started in the Niger Delta region during the era of militancy has now become a booming venture in all parts of the country, especially in the South West.

The discovery of den of kidnappers and fraudsters in Ibadan as well as many other cases of kidnapping in Ikere Ekiti , Akure and other parts of South Western States underscores the growing apprehension over a menace now on the rise in some parts of the country.

In Ekiti State , A catholic priest and some health workers were kidnapped, while the regent of Akungba Akoko in Ondo State also endured some days in the hands of kidnappers before she was released.

Also in Ondo State, the executive secretary of the Cocoa Association of Nigeria, Segun Adewunmi, was kidnapped by gunmen in Akure but later released after paying unspecified amount of ransom.

In Oyo State, A 78 year old businessman, chief Adebowale Omotoso, was abducted at his residence in Aawe, AFIJIO Local Government Area and was later released after seven days in kidnappers den.

Infact, in Nigeria today, it could be said that the fear of being kidnapped is the beginning of security consciousness.

This situation has made some country issue constant travel warnings to their citizens about Nigeria which is affected tourism in the country.

The negative image is not healthy for the country’s socio-economic development, Hence the need to urgently address factors responsible for the menace.

One of the factors is unemployment, especially among the youths .

Government needs to intensify efforts at job creation and economic empowerment programmes.

The crave to get rich quickly without labour is also another factor which requires value education and orientation.

The decision of the inspector general of police, Mr. Solomon Arase to deploy anti-crime defectives to Ondo and other states of the region is a prompt and commendable step.

Moreover, police should strengthen it’s community partnership efforts to facilitate cooperation and communication between local police and the community[/b].http://www.radionigeriaibadan.com/commentary-list/1568-the-rising-cases-of-kidnapping-in-the-southwest

[b]Ibadan ranks the highest numbers of mental illness in Nigeria aka city Isinwin
The increase in the number of mentally deranged persons across Nigeria, particularly in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, and the risk it poses for the populace appear to have assumed a disturbing dimension as mad persons continue to besiege the ancient city daily.Segun Adebayo and Seyi Sokoya went round the metropolis and report that drastic actions need to be taken by the relevant authorities over this development.


IT was a cloudy evening in Mokola area of Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State. Prior to their arrival, these
reporters had been briefed about this particular lunatic who has become a source of worry to residents of the area.

On getting to his place of abode, the reporters attempted to take his photograph and, perhaps, have a chat with him but failed. Then, they decided to take a shot of him from a reasonable distance. Again, he showed a sign of disapproval as he was seen pointing fingers at them, saying “what are you trying to do, you these people.”

Tried as they did, all the efforts of the reporters to get a photograph of the lunatic was met with stiff resistance as he continued with his threats.

Having resigned to fate, when the reporters embarked a motorcycle to return to the office,the lunatic got up and shouted after them, “you guys are crazy and, in fact, your head is not correct.”

This is one case out of many scattered across the country and which are growing alarmingly daily.

For instance, in a renewed effort by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) administration to rid the nation’s capital of mentally deranged people and destitutes, no fewer than 12 lunatics and 129 beggars were arrested penultimate week.

The lunatics and beggars, who were reportedly arrested at various locations, were said to have been repatriated to their respective states of origins.

Over the years, successive governments at various levels have adopted diverse methods to curb the increasing number of the mentally deranged who roam cities’ streets and the highways. But efforts at providing shelter and rehabilitation centres, with a view to bringing them back to normalcy and keeping them away from constituting nuisance to the public have proved abortive.

The increase in number of lunatics in Ibadan metropolis of late is a pointer to the fact that government’s policies to bring the menace under control over the years have not yielded results.

Many of the lunatics and destitutes, who apparently had been ditched by their families, are supposed to be in confinement at government psychiatric hospitals or in homes, but they flood the streets owing to the society’s failure to show interest in them.

The development, according to investigations by Sunday Tribune, is coming amidst allegations that over 3,105 beggars and lunatics were deported to their states of origin by the Lagos State government recently. This was said to have angered the then government of Oyo State, some citizens of which a good number of the deported were said to have been.

Also, the development was said to have become sources of worry to residents who said in some cases, when they (lunatics) were chased away, they usually managed to return.

When the immediate past government planned to embark on an urban renewal programme sometime ago, it was learnt that the increase in number of destitutes and lunatics forced it to redirect its energy to other engagements.

Some residents who spoke with Sunday Tribune over the turn of events condemned attitude of successive government in the state towards the decay in the environment, particularly with regard to the festering cases of destitutes.

But some residents introduced another dimension to the topic when the claimed that most of the seemingly mentally deranged people were neither drug addicts nor lunatics, but ill-fated Nigerians who found themselves on the streets due to the psychological effect of the receeding economy.

While speaking with Sunday Tribune, a cellphone accesories merchant at Oje market said most of the mentally deranged who came around the market everyday had become known faces, adding that their presence has become a menace the (market people) dealt with on a daily basis.

“With the billions of naira the country realises everyday, and even this state, it really depresses one to see that destitutes and lunatics have taken solace in roaming the streets. This is posing a serious threat to the enviroment and the society at large.Governments have failed to channel the resourecs of this country in a way that it could boost the economy and wipe off poverty among its people,” he said.

Another resident, who gave her name as Iya Busayo, said, “we take things for granted in this country.

In developed countries, some of which I have had the opportunity to visit, you don’t see lunatics parading the streets like we see here in Nigeria; they would have been taken off the streets by the authorities and given adequate attention before they are allowed into the society. But in Nigeria, anything is permitted.”

In the course of its investigation, the Sunday Tribune crew sighted an allegedly insane woman who was said to be in her late 40s. She sat cuddling a baby.

Residents of the area who spoke with Sunday Tribune over her predicament disclosed that she and her two-year-old baby had been subjected to hardship, following the sudden disappearnce of her husband a couple of years ago. This was said to have taken its toll on her.

Another resident of the area, Sola Abidoye, said that he had known the woman since her spinsterhood.
“The woman would have loved to leave this place, if she could be guaranteed a better life. She has been there for sometime now and the reason is not far-fetched; she has no place to go and none of her relatives have turned up,” he said.

Sunday Tribune also found out that virtually all days of the week, a dreadful lunatic is always opposite the gate of the University of Ibadan, along the road leading to Agbowo-Express, wandering about with a big stone in hand or on his head. Obviously, a first time caller sighting the mentally retarded man would run for dear life as a result of the fear of being hit by the lunatic.

However, according to Bimbo Oderinde, who owns a boutique in the area, the man had not been known to have attacked anybody since he came around.

“I have never seen him threatening anybody with that stone he holds everytime. He, nevertheless, poses a serious threat because you never can tell; he might eventually throw the stone someday,” she noted.

According to a 300-level student of Microbiology Department of the institution, who did not want his name in print, “he (the lunatic) is seen strolling casually around the vicinity, particularly where there are relaxation centres. The stone has never left his hand; he either holds it or places it on his head but that does not underline the fact that he his sane. Let the government do something fast about it.”

At Sango area of the city, looking totally frustrated and sitting gloomily in the heavy downpour was another notorious lunatic who finds pleasure in handling breast of ladies, particulais said to have permanently made the street his home. It was also learnt that he relocated from the Ojoo end of the Lagos—Ibadan expressway to Sango several years ago.

Speaking with Sunday Tribune, a petrol attendant, Busola Bamigbola, disclosed that the man was said to be sane some years back and that he was married with three children.

She said the turn of event came when his wife and three children died in a mysteriously inferno, a development that turned him into a destitute.

“Today, he has lost his mind, apart from being a vagrant. And no one seems to care. Even the fact that he constitutes a public nuisance by his actions, nobody seems ready to come to his aid. This situation calls for an urgent attention of the government and neccessary authorities,” she said.

At Mokola round about, right opposite a popular eatery, another insane man is always seen displaying all sorts of acts. Notably among his acts, according to an eyewitness, is that he fundles and massages his own manhood to the point of erection. The eyewitness said usually, he also showed a sense of lust for women. It can’t be said if he is or not capable of pouncing on innocent female passers-by. Sunday Tribune was told that no one knew when and how he got there and his source could not be traced.

An attendant in the eatry, who gave his name as Adeyemo Bolaji, told Sunday Tribune that the experience had been shamefull, “not only to us but also to the government.”

He added that, “this man has been here for sometime now displaying what I don’t even know how to describe and nobody seems bothered by that. He harrasses people, dances and does all sorts of things that are beyond my comprehension.

“A lot has been said and written, but nothing has been done over the years.”

The fear among residents of Ibadan is that it is “fast becoming another Oshodi” as a result of the increase in number of destitutes, miscreants and mentally deranged persons who have turned the underneath of most bridges in the town to their homes.

“Sometimes, they rape and rob people that come into the city at night,” said Adeola, a restaurant onwner.

A motel owner in Mokola, Mr. John Folayan, alleged that government was probably encouraging the destitute and lunatics with its perceived non-chalant attitude towards the threat they posed to residents.

He said, “each time passengers ride in vehicles, destitute rush towards them and disturb them, begging for alms.

Around the University College Hospital (UCH) is another lunatic who many described as non-violent, but constituting nuisance.

According to investigations, she takes her bath in the gutter in front of the hospital every morning and in the night.

The presence mad people can also be felt in other bustling areas and suburbs of the city. At Eleyele, in opposite a popular primary school, Anwar-Ul-Islam, an alleged mentally deranged man, who is said to be in his early 40s relishes puffing at his cigarette every minute. What makes his case more interesting is that despite his state of mental health, he is a professional bricklayer who is said to have helped build quite a number of houses in the area.

Passers-by cannot but notice his torn cloths and dancing steps whenever he begins his acts.

“The point is that they (lunatics) are too many. Government is not doing anything to resettle them or send them back to their states of origin,” said a computer shop attendant.

While many have argued that he is sane, others say no sane person would behave the way he does, wandering how a ‘normal’ person would stand in the sun dancing.

Yet, others say the poor state of the economy appears to have had a negative effect on the man they simply referred to as Skeledi.

“He may not be mentally sick as alleged, but the presence of other lunatics abounds in the area, some wearing tattered clothes, others practically naked, seems to lend credence to the claim that he is mad.

We, the residents, have been appealing to relevant authorities to take these people who are becoming a menace off the streets; they pose security threat,” said a fish seller who gave her name as Iyabo Olumofin.

However, some residents of Ibadan have said unlike the Lagos State government, the Oyo State government might not be able to muster the political will to send lunatics and destitutes back to their states of origin.

Another major source of worry over this development is that only 130 psychiatrists are said to be available for the entire populace. Most qualified psychiatrists are said to have been fretted away by the brain drain syndrome bedevailing all the crucial sectors of the economy.

Reacting to the menace of lunatics and destitutes roaming the street, Dr. Bayo Oluwole of the Department of Guidance and Counselling, University of Ibadan, condemned the non-challant attitude of successive governments in the state over the years towards establish institutions where lunatics and destitutes would be rehabilitated and institutionalised.

“The issue is becoming very alarming and it calls for concern from both the government and non-governmental organisations. There is need to look into the menace and look for a way to curb it or reduce it to a minimum level.

“Many youths are experimenting with drugs without the knowledge of their parents or guidance. They are not aware of the negative side effect of these hard drugs, but the society at large suffers the brunt when the problems start coming up. Even when you go around the metropolis, you perceive the odour of hard drugs oozing out from different places,” he lamented.

He also attributed factors leading to the increase in lunatics to “the socio-economic aggression” that has rendered many children homeless, parents jobless and individuals suffering from mental torture and breakdown.

“It is also necessary to take note that the management of lunatics is different from that of destitutes. Destitutes should be rehabilitated and returned to schools, while lunatics should be taken to where they would be properly taken care of. Government should collaborate with NGO’s to create institution to rehabilitate them so that they will be well managed,” he said.

Your story is quite plausible, think about it. Kidnapping started with the Ijaw militants and they did it mainly for political reasons. The south easterners commercialized it and started kidnapping everyone, kids, grandma, pets and all.
Then rich ibos decided not to go home anymore, they stayed back in their safe abodes in the SW and the north. I believe when the SE kidnappers could no longer find rich people to kidnapp they took their trade to other parts of Nigeria. Remember osisikankwu?

Short man syndrome!

If you have to keep repeating yourselves to be something, it's because you aren't.

I want even going to comment on this but you know what, to help you cry some more. .I'll comment on it.
I ain't like the rest of them that take una statement hook line and sinker, I research Nigga.

Yoloba were documented by Shaw and several others as a CANNIBALS as well.

Not only that, unlike the rest have left it in the past, Yoloba are still the only set practicing cannibalism as well actually have a market for human meat.

How do you explain taking loan to do owambe
