“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.

Igbos!!!!the indigineship disrespecters!!!!Una don come again o!!.Unfortunately, you Bastards have forgotten that it's the ethnicity of the culprit and not the location that you Bastards should be concerned about. Just a few weeks ago , a Flattie was bragging that statistics has shown that most drug arrest occur in Lagos. But the fool forgot to tell us that the Chibuzor, nkechi, Chidi, chuka,Eze and co that are arrested DAILY at LAGOS Muritala airport account majorly in the statistics of arrests in Lagos. Biafrans and crimes are like my left and right testicles........they are co-joined by nature!!!
