Nairalanders, greetings.

I posted this earlier today in the General section. I'm reposting it in the Crime section in the hopes that it will reach the right audience.

My niece left from Obigbo (near Port Harcourt) to her university, ABSU. She was kidnapped while on her way.
The kidnappers have been calling, threatening, and demanding a ransom.
I know we have security experts and perhaps those with similar experiences in this forum.

We desperately need help. Could you please advise us on the best way to rescue her?

Thank you for your helpful advice and prayers.

.

The only way to rescue her in this nation right now is to negotiate and pay the ransom.

Not now

Don’t worry she will return without harm
Just involve the police

Juliusmomoh:
Ok

Give us the number of those guys (kiddnappers)

We know what to do and get back to you

Thanks for support. Please advise if it's safe to share their number here. We dont want her harmed.

Shey Nairaland done turn SARS office ni?

No go jeopardize her life because say one anonymous moniker dey behind him keyboard de type nonsense confidently.

You just should do the negotiations yourselves don’t wait for the stupid government to help you guys oooo

First go report to the police before coming to post on Nairaland..


This is really bad

Mazi Akubuzo, I admire your wisdom and envy the confidence you have that Nairaland is your problem's last bustop.

When next the kidnappers call to negotiate her ransom, tell them that NwaAmaikpe has instructed them to release her without delay because the FalseProphet has seen that if she isn't released immediately, pastor Righteousness's prayer will lead them to their doom and Lalasticlala will not hesitate to post the news of their shameful end here on Nairaland.

Yes, tell them that and watch them release her.

Better still, share their number here so some of our broke girls can flash their phone to death.

Since you are wiser than the Zamfara State's Speaker who paid ransom despite all his paramilitary connections.

I pray she's rescued safely.

Do you have any idea where exactly she was kidnapped. If it between that okigwe to up-gate uturu road, then it's just the random you'll pay but you need to politely keep negotiating with them not to pay too much. Was she the only one that was kidnapped or her bus was? The two police stations at up-gate and okigwe are very useless but still report at okigwe police station

If you love your niece,
Better look for a way to negotiate and raise the ransome.

Nairaland cant help you. Nigerian police cant help you.

,

Bubu Boiz are working at it peak...as for your sister may Almighty God protect her soul..very soon she will be released steadfast in prayers and be firm...shalom.

Oluwa have mercy.

Kidnapers should leave the poor masses alone and concentrate on the politicians please

Too bad. I pray she returns safe. Report to the police first and play along with them with negotiations

I dont understand some people...does Nairaland land look like a police station, or is it associated with any security outfit... how can u be asking us what to do??

The things we read about this country everyday! Is there really hope?

Sorry but try to negotiate with them for them to reduce the amount and also to buy more time.

Ignoring them will make them kill her.

Besides to them it's a win win situation where if you don't raise the agreed amount, the kill the victim and sell the body parts. So they don't lose entirely.

Any way you see it, you will spend money.

Either by paying them or by paying the law enforcement guys.

What do I mean?

If they are asking for 10m to release her, give police something similar and see if they won't fish them out.

Unless if they have a spy in the law enforcement or if the person who sent them has already marked your neice for death.
That way they just want to collect ransom as bonus.

All the same, may God help your family.

Chai! I pray she returns in one piece. Visit the nearest police station and file a report ma. They will take it from there.

Too bad
Where is this country really going? The lives and properties of people is not even safe

I pray she will be released ijn

Sad, I can imagine the trauma.

1. You must remain calm at this moment and do not argue with kidnappers.
2. Whatever are their conditions, give in (of course be realistic with the amount you can afford) and do not be opinionated.
3. Your priority now is getting your niece safely rather than trying to save a few bucks.
4. Do not jeopardize her safety with rash and irrational decisions (see 2).

I wish you the very best and her safe return!

Was she kidnapped on the highway because na fulani terrorists be that so o

Oh no

If you believe, in the name of Jesus, she will return safely to you.

Palava

Negotiate the ransom.

It's sad that our country has come to this.

In the past few months, at least 3 people I know were kidnapped in different locations, including S/W Nigeria. They were regular people- not the typical "elite".

When you start negotiating or raising ransom for your loved ones, it is really disheartening.

Sadly, it is a better alternative to trusting the government agencies. Report to them to fulfil all righteousness but take your matter into your own hands.

Negotiate. Don't be afraid to tell the kidnappers how much you have regardless of how much they bill. Beg them.

And pray.

That's Nigeria for you.

I wish your sister safety.

Nigeria is in a big mess.
