“A result of a recent survey it conducted shows that you are more likely to
be abducted in the South West than any other region in Nigeria.”
Contrary to the perception that kidnapping is more prevalent in the South
East and South South geo-political zones, a recent survey shows that
people are more likely to be kidnapped in the South West than any other
region in Nigeria.
The 2013 National Crime Victimisation and Safety Survey conducted by
CLEEN Foundation with support from the United States based Macarthur
Foundation shows that the South West has the highest incidents of
kidnapping with 5 per cent of the respondents from the region saying they
have either been kidnapped or attempts have been made to kidnap them.
The South South and the South East closely follows with a 4 per cent kidnap
rate. The region with the lowest rate of kidnapping is the North Central
region with 2 per cent.
Rape and Attempted Rape
With a 10 per cent incident of rape or attempted rape, the South South
region is the rape capital of the country followed by the North East (6 per
cent) and the South West and North West (4 per cent each). The South East
is the region with the lowest propensity for rape with just 1 per cent.
The survey also shows that the national incidence of rape almost doubled
from 3 per cent in 2011 to 5 per cent in 2013. Most of the respondents who
claimed to have been raped said they were raped in and around their
homes. Thirty-three per cent said they were raped nearest to their homes;
19 per cent were raped in their homes while 13 per cent of cases of rape
occurred in schools or places of work.
Robberies
The survey shows that cases of robbery rose 1 per cent from last year
nationally. Kaduna recorded the highest cases of robbery with 43 per cent
closely followed by Akwa-Ibom 42 per cent and Cross River 39 per cent.
Jigawa and Kano States recorded the lowest cases of robbery with 5 and 3
per cents respectively.
The survey shows that more needs to be done about security in and around
homes as 63 per cent of respondents said robberies occurred in homes or
near to home.
Physical Assaults
South East states recorded the highest rate of physical assaults, the report
showed. Enugu State had the highest cases of assault with 84 per cent,
closely followed by Ebonyi (77 per cent) Rivers (58 per cent) and Anambra
(50 per cent). The cases of physical assault in Abuja rose from 15 per cent
last year to 24 per cent. However cases of physical assault dropped
drastically in Niger State from 68 per cent in 2012 to 6 per cent this year.
Also physical assault dropped from 23 per cent in 2012 to 8 per cent this
year in Jigawa State.
Meantime, an Akure Magistrates’ Court recently remanded a 25-year-old
man, Taiwo Ebenezer, in prison for allegedly kidnapping a 21-year-old,
Olayemi Olatunji.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Sunday Adedapo, who handed down the verdict,
said Ebenezer should be kept behind bars at Olokuta Prisons in Akure
pending advice from the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
According to reports, the court did not take the plea of the accused in spite
of efforts by his counsel, Mr Ademola Abemkemo to secure bail for him.
The accused, whose address is unknown, is facing a two count charge of
conspiracy and kidnapping.
The prosecutor, ASP Pelumi Adejuwon, had earlier told the court that the
accused with others still at large, kidnapped Olatunji.
Adejuwon said the accused and his accomplices were armed with a gun,
cutlasses and some other dangerous weapons when they committed the
offences.
According to him, the accused committed the offences on May 7 between
8.00 a.m. and 6. 00 p.m. at Ayeyemi Street, Ondo.
He said the kidnap was, however, foiled when the victim raised an alarm
which attracted passers-by who apprehended the accused.
The offences, Adejuwon said, contravened Section 516 of the Criminal Code,
Laws of Ondo State, 2006.
The offences also violated Section 3(1) of the Special Anti-Kidnapping and
Anti-Abduction Law of Ondo State, 2010.
The case was adjourned till June 22 for mention.
