www.nairaland.com/attachments/7236683_20186largekidnappingkadunatopsworststates_jpeg9457cdddd72b3cd20fd45c7e072746a0 Rampant kidnappings in Nigeria used to be a Niger Delta affair, where indigenous militants abducted oil workers, mostly expatriates, as a form of protest or agitation for the region’s development. This tension has been there, between some of the people and foreign corporations since the 1990s and gradually became more confrontational. So, the abductions began as a means to force ransom out of prominent families, then it began to affect farmers, and women and children. Eventually, no one is now safe, particularly on some major highways across the nation. In 2017 alone, over 100 passengers have reportedly been abducted in seven different routes across the country. Some of the routes include the Obajana-Lokoja, Ajaokuta-Lokoja and Kabba-Obajana roads, all in Kogi State. Also, there is the Auchi-Abuja and Benin-Akure roads in Edo State, the Abuja-Kaduna road, Abuja-Kaduna expressway and Birnin Gwari-Kaduna road. On the Kaduna-Abuja route, the criminals’ conclusion may have been that Abuja, being the capital city, has some high-profile persons commuting the expressway. This may have appeared valid when people like Army Colonel Samaila Inusa, a director in the Dangote Group, Mansur Ahmed and three clerics, Rev. Emmanuel Dziggau, Rev. Yakubu Dzarma and Rev. Iliya Anto, and one Afolabi Alega. Out of these, four survived to tell the tale, while two, Colonel Inusa and Rev. Anto were not so lucky. But this soon changed when people were randomly taken on the highway. A commercial driver named Mohammed Kebi, who managed to escape said five vehicles were intercepted during the incident. Among those kidnapped was a nursing mother. This is just an addition to the incidences already recorded in Birnin Gwari. In April this year, the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, Malam Audu Kano and six others were abducted by unknown gunmen on their way to Zamfara for a wedding. It gets worse. It has been reported that armed bandits have conducted a steady operation along the Birnin-Gwari to Kaduna highways with about 42 passengers taken captive within 24 hours. Before then, three housewives had been forcefully abducted in Maganda village. Unfortunately, the soldiers that massively conducted Operation Karamin Goro in Birnin-Gwari had since been withdrawn and residents have expressed fears over this development. They have pointed out that the activities of bandits on their roads have crippled their economy. Mr. Collins Onyenwenu, Registrar of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku was kidnapped by unidentified gunmen along the Ugiliamai/Onitcha-Ukwani Road, Ndokwa West LGA of the state. In the past year, out of the 36 states in Nigeria, Kaduna recorded the highest with 157 kidnapped persons, followed by Rivers, 61, Niger, 37, Ondo and Rivers states, 21, aside the Federal Capital Territory which has recorded 22 cases. This puts virtually the entire country in a hostage-taking dilemma. In January 2018, a Sharia Court Judge, Abubakar Mohammed, was reported kidnapped near Jerimiya village in Rafi LGA of Niger State. A ransom of N20 million was said to have been given despite denials. Three days after, seven people were abducted and three others were killed along the same road. In November 2017, the police said they rescued Malam Haruna Gizo, the village head of Unguwan Gizo of Kagara Local Government Area of the state and three others from their abductors. The spate of kidnappings sometimes shows a pattern, as in the case of Rivers and Cross River states and at other times, none, as is the case in Niger State where three girls were abducted at Janja village in Munya while three others were kidnapped in Shoho Kibla also in Munya and additional three in Erena in Shiroro LGA. While kidnappings on highways appear random, many are not. A typical example is that of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Akito Rentals, Mr Sunday Ekanem, which took place in his residence, Atu Street in Calabar LGA of Cross River State in February 2018. According to reports, it was the second time Mr. Ekanem was abducted, and the last time was in 2014. Also, in Ondo, the police command apprehended the leader of a notorious kidnap and robbery gang identified as Sunday Omojuba who was declared wanted by security agents since 2016. A kidnap kingpin, Maitarari Isa Saidu, 63, was arrested in March this year by the police. He was reported to have been paraded alongside 48 other suspects, including two of his children. He confessed to have been behind several kidnap activities across Niger State, and neigbouring Zamfara, Kaduna, the FCT and Yobe. Only two states, Jigawa and Osun states, have not recorded incidents of kidnapping within the last one year.

I'm surprised Lagos did not make the cut. It seems human life is no more sacrosanct in Lagos due to the huge population. 200 people getting missing out of 20 million shouldn't be a source of worry? 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Rubbish!!! Biafran Statistics Kidnapping business is a household business in the East... Even foreigners are aware of this fact How come their 5 states are not on top of the list? I can assure you that all the past Kidnappings were carried out by Igbos as evident in recent arrest of their kinsmen in South West. 97% Robberies in Nigeria are equally carried out by Igbos The list is endless 7 Likes 1 Share |
