Craziest thing happened to my brother last Friday. He was kidnapped at gun point on his way to work, In Lagos o. I got a call by 7:00 am from him with strange men asking to pay ransom to them or they will kill him. At this point I’m hearing my brother yelling from the beating

while they put Robb( Menthol gel) in his eyes. People need to know how unsafe The country is, it keeps getting worse. My Lil brother did not deserve that, he’s literally one of the best people I ever met, way better than me.

These men had Ak47s and pull up on him in a sienna. Put my bro in a hospital for an entire day, over what? They still stole his phone, laptop and shoes. Why beat the living daylight out of him? Imagine the first call you get in the morning is from strange men speaking with you through your brothers phone, telling you they are taking your brother to Kaduna from lagos and they will kill him if I don’t send them the money they’re asking for. I’m in Abuja btw and not even in Lagos. I nearly died too cuz after that demand they turned the phone l off.

I couldn’t go to work or think. I was useless that morning. That boy is too innocent for this experience and it will never be well with those 5 men for scarring my bro mentally and physically.

Anyway I thank God for his life. He escaped alive, This is a big testimony for my fam.

Has Nigeria even been this bad? Even during military era?

So sorry about your brother's experience. I wish him quick recovery, physically and mentally.

This things are very common here in Lagos. One guy with suit and tie was found dead as early as 5:30am in my area earlier this year. He was stabbed to death because he had a physical battle with the robbers that wanted to steal his Android phone. Too bad.
We need to be smarter and more conscious of our movements most especially here in Lag. When I'm going to work now, I were shorts like I am going to the market. I just change my clothes at the office. If you work on the Island, you must have experienced robberies on so many occasions. This country is really unsafe. God help us.

This kidnapping spree is getting more lucrative on a daily basis now..... Everywhere,no day wey we no go hear one story of kidnap....It is well

Chai

This insecurity go reach everybody las las.

@OP thank God for your testimony

@everyone pray you're not next cos you can lie to yourself but e go clear una one day, I pray it doesn't but the situation is bad, too bad

Jaqenhghar:

If you explain these things some people will tell you that having money will solve all these. They wil say make money

Even The protection of money is fast eroding. Money will protect you from regular Nigeria stress, insecurity don morph into something else entirely, in fact your risk of kidnapping or dying by police significantly increases just by looking like you have money. It's crazy out here

Thank God for his safe return. Every day I step out of the house for work and leave the office for home, its always with fear.

Na wa o. The country is terrible. Thank God for his life.


You also could have been specific on the area he was taken and how he escaped.

Thank God for your brother's successful escape.

How did he escape?? So We fit include am for next nysc batch pamphlet.. you might be saving millions of people with the details sir.. thanks

Thank God them no mine him skull.
If it were in Osogbo eee

Chaos everywhere.. God's protection will never seize in our life.

You sure sey the boy no wan run you street?

May God continue to guide and protect our ways, both going and coming. The kidnappers are within the environ, they just want it to look like they came afar.

The way things are panning out in this country ehnn, na to pack go the next street.

But on a serious note, thank God your brother's life was spared.

Advice: we need to be very security conscious in every thing we do, and places we go to, Plus commit your movement to God before stepping out every morning.

IT IS WELL !!!

Brother, we are so sorry for what happened to your brother. The way things are going in this country kidnapping is here to stay reason is because our government are not doing anything against it. Before kidnapping was only meant for the rich and wealthy people but now kidnapping are for the poor, rich and wealthy people.. let us all be careful please.

No where is safe again o… even Aso rock was robbed.. NDA was attacked….
No one is safe likewise… A major was kidnapped for days… Another one who was the son of a senator was killed… an ex senator has been kidnapped as I type…
Buhari is the best thing that has happened to this country!

Naija ain't safe again,these days when hustling for your daily bread,you also have to hustle for ransom money in-case you get kidnapped.But i ain't hustling for my daily bread again,my hustle focus is how,when,and where i go japa commot for naija finally.

Men....we are truly living in evil times!!! I get scared for my kids growing up in this country...Government should give us the right to bear arms so that we can defend ourselves. Am really happy for your brother that he walked away with his life. Always pray before you leave your home. May God protect us all..

It is well

It is well. Is the only reasonable thing i can say. The country situation is in a state dt u just really dont hav anything to say at some point. Sorry to ur broda. No one deserved d wickedness they got from fellow human

Chaiii.....so sorry, I wish him quick recovery.But how did you pay the ransom? have you contacted the police? Please, which area precisely in Lagos,so that people will be more cautious.....

But did the security in this country got better in this regime?

This country don spoil....

Small time we go carry gun for our bag for self defense...

Soon when the children wants to go school we go put gun or matchet for their lunch box...

This I have seen.

Thank God he escaped. No where in the country is safe. It is only by the grace of God that some of us have survived this far.

If you look deep, there's hardly one family in present day Nigeria who hasn't had a fair share of the menace.

Things would get worse if leaders continue to handle matters with kid gloves.

May God save us all.�

See how the country has been bastardised beyond redemption...

Insecurity everywhere
No Jobs

I fear for Generations yet unborn.

I pray the don't curse our Generation for watching things degenerate like this.

Poverty isn't the problem but wickedness.. We are very wicked and heartless in this country. Thank God he escaped and is safe now. Please let's all be very careful

What our nation have turned into

If it get to Lagos the matter go concern every body

So how did he escape
Which part of Lagos
This story na lie abeg

This country.. Is a ticking time bomb, if drastic measures are not taken..
Same happened to my colleague along Ajah badore road, he was battered, they took his phone and other belongings, the crazy part abt this was, it was in the afternoon.
