A wave of kidnappings has struck several states in Nigeria, with reports indicating more than 20 citizens abducted in separate incidents within the last 48 hours.
According to an alert issued by Harrison Gwamnishu of the Safe City Foundation, the abductions occurred across Kogi, Edo, Enugu, and Imo states. The foundation emphasized that these figures only represent cases reported by the media, suggesting the actual number could be higher.
The security alert also highlighted an alarming evolution of “one chance” robberies in cities like Port Harcourt and Asaba. Perpetrators are now reportedly using chemical sprays on passengers in shuttle buses, rendering them unconscious and later abandoning them in remote forest areas after being robbed.
“Before you decide to travel by road, please take a moment… They’re not just news, they’re warnings,” Gwamnishu stated, urging the public to exercise extreme vigilance. The message underscores that the purpose of the alert is not to spread fear, but to “awaken vigilance” among citizens.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding this specific 48-hour timeline. The public is advised to remain alert, stay guarded, and report any suspicious activities to security agencies.
