Is your state on the list?
12 years of kidnapping data are in, and the numbers are startling. While some states grab headlines, you might be surprised to see which 12 states reported the lowest number of victims between 2011 and 2023.

Satisense will just sit down at one corner and cook up unrealistic statistics.

They will never tell you how they arrived at their figures.

The governors are complicit to this menace, put pressure on the legislative to make kidnapping and terrorism a capital offence punishable by death. Until we do that, we are not going anywhere.
Re: Reported Kidnap Victims Across Zones & States (May 2011 — June 2023) by jordyspices: 4:53pm On Nov 18, 2025
All these statistics don't make sense dey should just try and end the insecurity in the country tighten our borders and stop embezzling money meant for security most importantly

So SW has a good representation of kidnapped victims.

So UGM, Amotekun,OPC, Sunday IGBOHO boys, Tinubu disciples are making the SW a region of instability.

This is a sophisticated shame. grin

About 85% of kidnapping cases in Lagos between 2011 - 2023 were traced to Evans the celebrity kidnapper.

One of the reasons why it seems as if the south east have high rate of kidnapping, is because the Nigeria media houses always over report every single kidnapping case in the east while tactically under reporting kidnapping cases from other regions

Did some of you go to school at all? How can someone sit down and cook up crime figures? If you want to know how they got the figures, you can email them.

The day the Police in one of the SW states killed 7 kidnappers in a single day, Simon Ekpa and Biafrans were crying that they are killing Igbos.

Na so official statistics dey, not every kidnapping is reported.
Unofficial statistics go need dem to add 2 zeros at the end of every stat but 3 zeros to Kaduna, Katsina and Zamfara.
