In a stark reflection of Nigeria’s persistent security challenges, commercial transporters have resorted to moving in nighttime convoys along the Lagos to Mararaba route in Nasarawa State to protect passengers from bandits and kidnappers.A widely shared video circulating on social media shows a line of vans and buses traveling closely together under the cover of darkness. On-screen text in the footage emphasizes unity: “Injury for one is injury for all” and “In peace we go,” highlighting the drivers’ determination to look out for one another.

Nigeria’s highways, particularly in the North-Central and North-West regions, have become increasingly dangerous due to armed banditry, kidnapping for ransom, and ambushes. Major corridors linking Lagos, Benin, Abuja, and surrounding areas frequently witness attacks on lone vehicles, forcing travelers to adapt or avoid night journeys altogether. International travel advisories from countries like the US and UK warn against road travel in many states, citing risks of violent crime, terrorism, and kidnapping.

Faced with inadequate official security on many routes, transporters have turned to self-help strategies. By traveling in groups, they aim to deter attackers who prefer isolated targets and increase the chances of mutual assistance if one vehicle encounters trouble.

Must everything be on cam?

Even the presido moves in a convoy of 120 cars to avoid stories that touch. Nice one.

Okay hear you!

Okooooooooʻoooooooooooo

TemplarLandry:
This is serious.
This is interesting.
Let's see how it goes.

Ever since your tilumbu's failures became too big to cover you stopped dedicating music for us here to listen to

Why has your tilumbu turned you into a shadow of yourself

Even freestuffs doesn't have any more "free stuffs" to dash us again 😏

I can't even remember when last one of them APC stooges here screamed "e go favor me" again

Now you have exposed them to the same risk they avoid.

Must you record and post everything?

VDM today during Abuja protest revealed that his next protest will be in Oyo state next week and he will ginger and mobilize with ratels and police with army inside the bush to confront the bandits and release the school children

The ongoing kidnapping crisis in Oyo State centers around a historic mass school abduction that occurred on May 15, 2026. The School Abductions (Oriire LGA)The Incident: Armed gunmen, identified as a faction of Boko Haram, invaded three schools simultaneously during school hours in the Oriire Local Government Area.The Affected Schools: Attacks hit Baptist Nursery and Primary School (Yawota), Community Grammar School (Esiele), and L.A. Primary School (Ahoro-Esinele).

The Victims: Reports on numbers vary. The Oyo State Police Command officially confirms 32 individuals remain missing (18 primary pupils, 7 secondary students, and 7 teachers), though community leaders state up to 46 to 49 people were taken, including a two-year-old toddler.

I thought so too but I feel it's better too they let them know,we are not easy prey y'all can pick one by one anymore, bandits or kidnappers go definitely stay clear off groups

He kept to his promise though:

"I will start from where Buhari stopped"

When young people vote d3m3nt!a, this is the result.

Apc nna do this one, e no go better for nna

I don't understand those stupid people...no sense of discretion ....Oya they should show it on cam and the Islamists terrorists will know their modus operandi

Zero police escort? Come on.

Everytime I come across any news relating to insecurity,I become dumb not knowing what else again to say.
Nigeria would have been a bit better off than what it is now assuming the president takes like 10 minutes out of his time to scroll social media apps on a daily.
There are too many things going on around him which he doesn't know,and his goons won't tell him unless he scroll through social media Apps

Now all of the drivers need to get a licensed guns.....

God is our help in this country

I feel this is better, if transporters can adopt.
Make you kukuma kidnap everybody

Thanks for making their job easier

This is what night travel has become under this evil APC administration
I remember the first time I travelled to the North it was a night journey

Bandits seeing this post😂😂😂

As long as they don't have AK 47 rifles with them to defend themselves and their passengers, to fight back the terrorists as they travels at night time like this, all this they are showing here is nothing but cruising.

Not any how guns o, beta Ak47 is what i am talking of.

Who goes all this drivers , Even cultist people humble in the eyes of bandits

If your vehicle Dey back back and e kom spoil for road

Somethings, I wonder is there's nothing fishy about their operations too...

Do they all have guns?

Hmmmmm

You will be wrong to think that all of them in the vehicle will stand and be waiting for the terrorists to capture all of them

The so-called leaders know.
It was never their aim to better 9ja.
It's all about personal ambition. Turn by turn.
They are not even hiding that fact.
