“Insecurity In Iba LGA, Lagos As Kidnapping Is On The Rise” – Pweetylivia

Since last week, there has been chaos in Iba LGA especially Victory Estate/Adoff. The rate of kidnapping have been on the rise and people are no longer safe. Last week Wednesday night, a woman and her teenage daughter was kidnapped while coming back from their shop at a junction close to their house. The kidnappers asked for 20 million to pay for their release (in this economic situation of Nigeria). A man was kidnapped in his house very early in the morning last week too. Yesterday morning, a popular woman in the neighborhood was abducted with her daughter while in her shop during the daytime.

Another man was also abducted yesterday morning. To worsen the whole case, the Oba of Iba was kidnapped, his security killed and wife shot.

What is happening to the security in Nigeria. People in the neighborhood are now been cautious. Everywhere is deserted because no one knows whose turn it will be. Even today in Church, the population of people in attendance are not much compared to before. Nowhere is safe anymore.

I’m calling on the government and concerned bodies to please intervene in this issue. Let our neighborhood be safe and peaceful as it was before.
