One-Chance Kidnapper groups are currently threatening lives and livelihoods in the Federal Capital Territory.. This post is to serve as a caution to all residents.. and also to all the Security Agencies headquartered in the Federal Capital Territory and An appeal for action (SOS) by the Authorities in the Federal Capital Territory.

Abuja residents are losing their lives and properties to these daredevil groups.

I just lost a cousin to the cold hands of these one-chance gangs last night after they had collected some ransom.

Their modus operandi, they pick an unsuspecting person waiting to board a taxi, then along the Expressway they overpower them into submission. Dispossess them of their valuables and force them to call their relatives to send them ransome which they redeem at ATM and POS points.

They operate 24/7 along the Expressways but more during the evening period between the hours of 7pm and 10pm.

They target more of women than men.

In Abuja, they operate mostly along Kubwa Expressway and Lugbe Airport Expressway outwards the City Centre. More on the Airport Expressway. They subject their victims to various kinds of torture and violations in order to make them submit. Some weak ones lost their lives to these tortures and most of them die as they are heartlessly pushed out of their moving vehicles after being robbed.

They operate mostly in the evening period when people close from work during peak hour when many are stranded on the road. Abuja do not have standard Mass Transit system hence many commuters to the outskirts of the city where majority of the population reside, rely on private cars to reach their destination. Their activities have been heightened lately by the current situation of the country with many commuters left stranded on the roads looking for affordable means to get to their destination.

My Security tips to Residents
..always board a taxi at loading points in the Busstop.

..avoid night commuting if you can. Though this is unavoidable by those that run evening shifts are various workplaces.

..board taxi as a group of 2 or 3 with someone you know.. a colleague or something. Don't be the only one that enter a taxi from a Busstop at night.

..as a female, if a taxi stops and all occupants are all males, don't enter. Some would say even some of the One-chance gangs have females among them. Don't enter, it's better to be safe than sorry.

..if you stop a taxi at late evening and ALL the occupants are staring at their Phones.. run.. na them.

..Be alert at all times and look for signs immediately you board a taxi. If your instinct tells you all is not right. Trust it and go down. Don't be in a taxi and start pressing your phone. It would distract you from being alert.

..On no account should you enter a taxi with tinted glasses, or ALL of the windows winded down at the same time at the point of pickup, they don't want you to see the tints.

A Call On the Security
This is also a wake-up call on the Various Security agencies that abound the FCT, esp the Police, DSS and NIA. Please Kindly carry out covet operations to nip this threat to the lives of Abuja residents in the mud. Anyone or their family members can fall victim to these. This should be declared a State of Emergency. I know the capabilities of the Security Agencies in Abuja and I understand they already know the operandi of these guys

I want to suggest putting a bounty or ransome on their heads for anyone with information that would lead to their capture. They would all be rounded up in days. Searchlight should also be shone on those criminal elements that call themselves 'agberos' that abound around Berger and Banex axis, their modus operandi hijacking innocent people's cars after smoking various kinds of drugs looks alot like those of the One-chance operators.

A Call On the Government.
The lack of a standard Mass Transit system in the FCT has fueled this menace confronting the residents especially those residents that commutes daily to the satellite towns to and fro the City centres to work. It's hightime the much promised CNG Buses are brought in to bridge this gap. The lightrail system recently launched by the government is very inadequate because it clearly passes through where most people cannot access them.

The indefatigable FCT minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike, and the Senator Representing the FCT, Senator Ireti Kingibe... please Save Our Souls 🙏🏽🙏🏽.

Isn't that what they want, they should clap for themselves..

Pochettino:
She might have seduced him
I know what we women are capable of

You are being sarcastic right?! 🤔

Then only difference is that in Norway, One man won't steal 110bn and put everyone in poverty. It's called Patriotism. Using public money to work for thr good of the country instead of unlawful acquisition. Here we have like over 1000 people in various Authorities that can run away with such amount of money each and nothing would happen..

Go Banex

What this people can't destroy doesn't exist..

The opposition always quick to jump on the failure of the ruling class.. Hello!! all of you all ruling class are crass failures and should all be ashamed of yourselves..

Ignore Fayose.. if you had stolen billions of public funds and needs softlanding from the graft agencies controlled solely by the President, you would say the same.

Oga.. all these economic terminologies work in a place where there are organised economics, the population is known, number of poor and unemployed are known..

Does Nigeria look like that kind of place. The last time this country did census was 2006.. no hope that that census would happen anytime too..

The average man on the street just wants to have something to eat here.. they don't know nothing about COLA..

Nigerians are hypnotised.. can't you see..

You think say na play play..

Since he appeared to plead guilty before the committee.. he should be given a lenient judgement.. I suggest demoting him to lecturer II from Senior Lecturer and banning him from ever holding an HOD position in the department. This would serve as a deterrent to others.. outright sacking would be too harsh, for the sake family whom he has to feed.

Well, the problem is that you can't see beyond your nose! Where will government get money to pay the difference between the real price and your expected price? These person's you called out know all these. It's time to face the fact that in terms of oil wealth, Nigeria is not a rich country given the size of her population. If countries in the west African region can go without subsidy, why can't Nigeria? Abi dem get two heads?
It's time we stop these charades and move the country forward. Someone has to pay the price for greatness because a leader has said the time is now!

Continue playing.. a country where one man would steal over two hundred billion is not a rich country.. making the poor pay for the irrespónsibility of the ruling class is not the way to go..

Where is your sense of empathy and humanity.. think for once about the millions who had lost their jobs since these your messianic draconian policies.. think about the young man who is managing to earn 50k a month and has to transport himself with 40k. Think for once about the millions without even a means of livelihood who are contemplating suicide on a daily basis..

You do not reset a child's head by cutting it off.. there are more humane ways of doing these than this barbarism going on..

If you do not fight corruption and cut down the big government, you are only creating a bigger government purse for people to steal away. These won't change the people's condition. The forex rate would continue to shift upwards and the people would be forced to cough out more local currency to purchase energy, which is priced at international rate.

God would spare our lives.. I would call you out to remind you of these later on. Buhari use to have followers like you too..

No be Access again.. no point announcing a notice. We your customers are used to it already..ĵ

I agree with you..

Nigerians were very empowered in 2015.. (at least so it seems now).. they used that power to ask for change... they got the change!!

Things haven't remained the same ever since.

Now they don't even have power to ask for anything again. Everyone just wants to survive now..

It's no longer news that the NNPC has hiked the pump price of PMS yet again. Petrol currently sells for about N1030 in NNPC stations in Abuja. It's expected to sell for N1200 at the stations of Major marketers such as AA Rano and Co.. and even more at other mushroom stations. Meaning that the product would sell in Abuja at the price of N1030 for those that can bear the long queues at NNPC stations, and more in other stations.

The questions that beg for answers are: where are the labour leaders and the Civil Society Groups in the country?! Why have they all left poor Nigerians to suffer these miserable fate in the hands of the government?! Why is nobody speaking out to protect the weak amongst us?! Why has Joe Ajaero and his Cotravellers been quiet since the Police Invitation event?! What deal did he agree with the government to let him off the hook?!.. They negotiated the minimum wage and were offered peanuts when the pump price of PMS was N537 per litre. Now it has since been more than doubled that price.. and their silence has been that of a graveyard.. the commonfolks do not deserve this.

I don't even want to get started about the so-called opposition political parties.. the best any of them had done so far is to sit behind their keyboards and tweet away. A real opposition would have rallied Nigerians and set an agenda for a way forward out of these unending hardships, whilst inspiring hope.

The Nigerian media (both Print and Digital) must be given some credits as they seem to be the only ones doing their bits to always call the government out, as we have seen with their countless editorials.

Now is the time for all those stakeholders mentioned above to wake up from their slumbers and rally the common citizens out of these mess. Because from the look of things, this government is not showing any signs of stopping anytime soon.

She even dey smoke blunt on top..🤔

One Police for one country like that for use slap do factory reset for her brain..

Lanretoye:
im not mocking anybody here,I’ve been a victim of this economy too and I’m still one like many other persons but for people who make little or no efforts too to be making a jest of the economic situation is what I go against.person wey no learn work,no go school too go Dey talk about bad economy for where graduates and professionals still Dey struggle.

i agree with you on that one..

Lanretoye:
see his topic self with error,we know the kind of people sha.ask him what he does for a living.

so you think hardship cares about what anyone does for a living?!.. do you know how many people do nothing for a living in Nigeria for no fault of theirs.. do you know how many people lose what they do for a living because of irrespónsibility of the ruling class?!..

Where is you all's sense of humanity and empathy for your fellow country people who bear this pang of senseless pronouncements by government?! If you are lucky enough for your palm kernel to be cracked by a benevolent spirit(or a godfather), the least you can do is to be humble and not mock every other of your suffering countrymen as lazy. Just think about these when you are less busy..
