The incident, which is still developing, has prompted a massive law enforcement response and sent shockwaves through the campus community. Authorities have confirmed an active and ongoing investigation, with a heavy police presence focused on the area around Mullins Library.




[Image: 250px-Old_Main%2C_University_of_Arkansas.jpg]


The first reports of the incident came just after noon, with the University of Arkansas Police Department (UAPD) and other local law enforcement agencies, including the Fayetteville Police Department, responding immediately. The university's RazALERT emergency notification system was activated at approximately 12:30 p.m., issuing a stark warning to students and staff: "Avoid the area of Mullins Library due to an active shooter reported. Avoid. Deny. Defend." This message, part of the standard "Run, Hide, Fight" protocol, was also broadcast over the public address system across campus.



The area around Mullins Library, which is a central hub on campus located near the Student Union, was swiftly cordoned off by law enforcement. Eyewitnesses reported seeing numerous armed officers, including state troopers, with their weapons drawn as they secured the perimeter and began clearing the building room by room. The swift and decisive response of law enforcement was a critical element of the initial containment effort.


As of this report, there have been no confirmed injuries. However, the situation remains highly fluid as police continue to investigate the initial reports and work to ensure the safety of everyone on campus. Students and faculty who were in the vicinity of the library at the time of the alert were evacuated, and other buildings, including Razorback Stadium, were reportedly placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure.


The incident has drawn attention from public officials, with U.S. Representative Steve Womack, who represents Arkansas' 3rd District, stating that he and his team were "closely monitoring reports of an active shooter" and urging people in the vicinity to follow all safety alerts.
The university's emergency preparedness measures, which include an alert system and training on how to respond to active threats, are being put to the test. The "Avoid, Deny, Defend" messaging is designed to provide immediate, actionable guidance in a high-stress situation. This type of training, which is now common at universities and workplaces across the country, aims to empower individuals to make life-saving decisions when faced with a violent threat.


The University of Arkansas has stated that it is in direct communication with police and will provide updates as more information becomes available. The community is being urged to stay away from the affected area and to rely on official sources for information. This is a developing story, and the full scope of the incident is still being determined.
Key Facts as of [Current Time]:
  • Location: Mullins Library, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville campus.


  • Initial Alert: Issued around 12:30 p.m. via the RazALERT system.


  • Response: UAPD, Fayetteville Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies are on scene.


  • Casualties: No injuries have been reported at this time.


  • Campus Status: Area around Mullins Library is a secured perimeter. Other parts of campus, including Razorback Stadium, are under lockdown.


  • Official Guidance: "Avoid. Deny. Defend." Stay away from the area and follow all instructions from law enforcement.

A Deputy Commissioner of Police serving under the Lagos State Police Command, DCP Gbolahan Oyedemi, has been found dead in his private home in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

DCP Oyedemi served as the Aide de Camp (ADC) to a former governor of Oyo State, Late Christopher Adebayo Alao Akala, in 2006.

The deceased, a native of Ogbomoso, had visited the town for the Easter celebration last weekend from Lagos before the incident.

Credible sources told LEADERSHIP on Tuesday morning that his body was found hanging in the house on Monday, suggesting he probably committed suicide.

“He came with his aides and we heard that he discharged them to go celebrate Easter with their respective families only to hear that he committed suicide yesterday (Monday),” a former aide to late Governor Akala, who had served at the same time with DCP Oyedemi, told our correspondent.

“He was formerly staying with his mother in the same house be built for her around Randa area of Ogbomoso, later he built another house located at Petros Academy Street, Federal Lowcost area and he thereafter moved to the new building. He was unmarried,” another source stated.

As at the time of this report, efforts to speak to the spokespersons of both Lagos and Oyo State Police Commands proved abortive.

No fewer than 45 persons including a family of seven were feared dead following the invasion of Gbagir community in Ukum Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue State, by suspected armed Fulani militia supported by local Tiv bandits in a fight to oust another Tiv militia gang in the area.
It was gathered that most of the dead were members of the rival militia gangs while about 12 innocent farmers were caught in the cross fire which also left over 30 persons injured and many others declared missing.
A traditional ruler in the area who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the bloody fight which started Tuesday morning after a Tiv militia leader in Ukum LGA, kidnapped another Fulani militia leader, one Alhaji Gana and his family members, who were known for banditry and kidnappings, from neighbouring Chinkai community in Wukari LGA of Taraba State.
He said, “after kidnapping them, he asked for N100million ransom but he was given N5million. After collecting the money he killed the hostages.“The murder of the hostages sparked outrage among his gang members in Taraba State. This happened over the weekend.
“What followed was that another militia gang leader in Ukum now went and join forces with the Fulani militia gang in Taraba to help them eliminate the rival gang in Ukum that killed their leader, Alhaji Gana.
“The essence was to enable him be the head of militia in Ukum. The combined forces of Fulani and Tiv militia gangs started moving into the bushes of Gbagir in their hundreds from Sunday to sack the gang that killed Alhaji Gana. And on Tueday morning the bloody fight ensued.
“From what we gathered over 45 persons who were mainly bandits have been killed, though we have record of over 12 farmers who were caught in the cross fire. Over 30 others were injured while some are also missing. We learnt that the gangs are also evacuating some of their dead members.
“Sadly caught in the cross fire was a family of seven in Tse Adzandeh Mbasaa, Mbajiga, Ityuluv, Torov. They were all members of the Adzandeh family.
“The armed men have also spread to the bushes of Gbeji, Chito and Afia in their numbers but cannot move into the residential area because of the timely intervention of troops of Operation Whirl Stroke, OPWS.
“In fact when people noticed the movement of the armed Fulani militia into Benue communities, the Chiefs informed the political leaders who immediately briefed Governor Hyacinth Alia who equally alerted the military for swift action.
“It was this timely response of the Governor to the intel and the intervention of the OPWS that saved the people of Ukum LGA because we gathered that they planned to kill hundreds of people in Ukum as revenge for the murdered Fulani militia leader but it is their gang war and innocent residents have nothing to do with that.
“Over 1,000 of them have laid siege on Ukum LGA as we speak that is why we are appealling to the military to save us before they wipe out our innocent families.
“We need more security posts in and around the area and we also appeal to the Governors of Benue and Taraba States to team up and put an end to the activities of these cross border criminals. They should support the military with logistics also.”
“As we speak these people are still in the bushes in Ukum, they have not moved back to Taraba. The Fulani militia are being supported by a Tiv militia group to eliminate another Tiv militia gang and as they fight the innocent locals will be killed.
“There is urgent need to protect the other three villages because we are hearing that the first phase of the attack is in Gbagir while Chito, Gbeji and Afia might be next.”
“We are also appealing for fortified military presence in all the Benue and Taraba border communities.”
Confirming the development, the lawmaker representing Ukum state constituency, Ezra Nyiyongo said 20 corpses had been recovered.
Effort to reach the Force Commander of OPWS, Major General Sunday Igbinomwanhia was unsuccessful but a military source confirmed the development.
According to him, “these are militia men killing each other. Yes, we acknowledge that some people may have been caught in the cross fire, but the majority of the people that were killed were members of the militia gangs in the area.
“But be that as it may, our troops are in Ukum, to ensure that the attack does not affect innocent people.”
Contacted, the Benue State Police Commissioner, Mr. Emmanuel Adesina who confirmed the development said more officers were deployed to the area adding that five corpses had also been recovered from the scene.

The Victim, Mr Nwoga Maduabuchi, from Akparata village, Igbeagu community in the Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, was said to have been married to the suspect, his second wife, from Uburu community, in the Ohaozara Local Government Area and lived in Abakaliki, the state capital.

A Security Officer, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said the victim was arguing with his second wife over a family issue, when the incident occurred.

According to the source, “The man is just a victim of domestic violence.

“He had two wives. The first wife is from Izzi Local Government Area; while the second wife is from Uburu, in the Ohaozara Local Government Area of the state.

“It’s a family matter. But the second became so enraged over the matter and acted the way she did, by pushing her husband down from the two-storey building. That’s the height of it. That’s the height of wickedness.”

Another reliable source, who equally pleaded not to be mentioned in print, said the suspect was heavily pregnant but was intermittently having quarrels with her late husband, adding that, “The second wife was constantly nagging.”

Another community source, Ogo Mike, described the situation as horrible, saying the victim was an elder brother to his friend.

When PUNCH Metro contacted the Police Public Relations Officer, Ebonyi State Police Command, DSP Ukandu Joshua, he claimed he had yet to be informed of the incident by the Divisional Police Officer.

According to him, he was not in the know of where, in Abakaliki, the incident took place, in order to ascertain what happened.

When our correspondent inquired, he asked, “Where did it happen so I can reach the DPO of the place?”

Both defendants, Alice Odey, 27, and Blessing Onagbulum, 39, who reside in New Nyanya, Karu, Nasarawa State, were charged with breach of public peace, defamation of character and causing harm.

They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Prosecutor, Inspector Shehu Ndam, informed the court that the defendants were arrested and brought to the New Nyanya Police Station on February 14 after they engaged in a fight and inflicted injuries on themselves.

“Onagbulum accused Odey of snatching her former husband, while Odey accused Onagbulum of using ‘juju’ to shrink his private parts. A fight broke out between the two defendants and Odey used a broken bottle to stab Onagbulum in the head, jaw and neck.

“Upon seeing Onagbulum on the ground, Onagbulum’s 16-year-old daughter picked a stone and hit Odey in the eye,” Ndam told the court.

The Prosecutor noted that the offence contravened the provisions of sections 113, 139 and 245 of the Penal Code.

The Judge, Godiya Bawa, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N100,000 each and one surety each in like sum and then adjourned the matter until March 15 for further hearing.

Cases of burglary are on the increase in Ijede community in Ikorodu, Lagos. For a long time, residents have become afraid of going to church on Sundays because while in Service, their houses are burgled. Week days are not spared these days.
One Sunday, a resident who couldn’t avoid attending Church Service, decided to go home before Service ended, only to notice his roof was broken. Lo and behold, a burglar was in his house; he escaped from the man. The house owner raised an alarm leading to neighbours joining him to chase the thief. After he dribbled the people through some bush paths like Okocha, they gave up chasing after him.
The burglar thought he was free after some minutes, so he decided to come out from hiding. On coming out, someone with experience grabbed him. As usual, they beat hell into him before handing him over to the police. Don’t rejoice yet, the burglar has been freed since. After his statement was said to be taken, the owner of the house said he was asked to not only keep reporting to the station, but also, feeding the burglar. What? Guess you understand why the burglar is free.
These thieves are also causing so much confusion in the life of residents. Last week, burglars broke into a new building a Septuagenarian was handling for a client in the community and stole it dry. While neighbours gathered discussing the case, the man saw two Mallams (Aboki) scavenging in the community, he went after them, throwing stones as he chased them. After his neighbours calmed him down, he started begging them to help him search for at least two Mallams that will work as security in the building. Hahahaha!
These thieves now operate without fear. In this same community, any completed but yet to be inhabited building is stripped of all accessories. Trips of sand, concrete and blocks not immediately used, are stolen too.
Peoples’ shops are looted mercilessly; mostly sewing machines have been targeted recently. Keke Marwa (tricycles) and Okada (motorcycles) had been stolen on several occasions. In all the cases, the thieves scaled through the fence at night, opened the gate and left with their loot.]]> LAGOS: Why burglars are on rampage in Ikorodu community

Daily Trust reports that the four remaining siblings of late Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah have regained freedom from their abductors.

The sisters were abducted alongside their father early January.

Their abductors had given a deadline for the payment of ransom, and failure of the family to meet their demand led to the killing of Nabeeha.

After killing the victim, the bandits raised the ransom from N60 million to N100 million, threatening to kill the remaining sisters.
But as of the time of filing this report (12:30 am on Sunday), the girls had regained freedom and arrived their Abuja residence where they were abducted.

Daily Trust reports that security operatives escorted them home, where they were received by family members.

The four victims are Najeeba, a 500-level Quantity Surveying student, her younger sister Nadherah, 300-level Zoology student, both of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria and their twin sisters, Habeeba and Haneesa.

The uncle to the girls, Sherifdeen, confirmed the development to our correspondent in a telephone chat Sunday morning.

According to him, “The girls’ release was secured late Saturday,” he said.

It was gathered that although the N100 million ransom placed on them had since been paid, the bandits held on to them for days putting the family in suspense until Saturday night.

In a statement signed by Sherifdeen Al-Kadriyah, the family thanked the Nigerians for standing by them during the trying and traumatic period.

“Words cannot express the immense gratitude and relief we feel at this moment. It is a true testament to the power of faith and the unwavering support and prayers from every one of you. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Allah for His mercy and guidance throughout this difficult time.

“However, amidst our celebration and gratitude, we must remember and pray for those who have lost their lives during this process. Their sacrifices must not go unnoticed, and their families must be in our prayers and thoughts.

“May Allah grant them the highest ranks in Jannah, enveloping them with His mercy and forgiveness. May He bring comfort and peace to their grieving families, providing them with strength to endure their loss.

“Our beloved daughters have shown remarkable strength and resilience, and we are overjoyed to have them back in our arms. Their bravery and courage during their time held captive will forever inspire us all. May Allah bless and protect every one of these incredible young women and grant them emotional healing and strength in the days to come”.

•Kidnapping now daily

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, once renowned for its relative tranquillity and security, has been gripped by a growing sense of fear and unease as cases of kidnappings continue to surge.

Residents are now living in constant anxiety, demanding immediate action from authorities to restore safety and protect their lives and property.

This was the case when residents of Dei-Dei town located off Kubwa-Zuba Road, under Bwari area council in Abuja were thrown into shock at the weekend following the abduction of over 23 residents of the community, mostly taken from three housing estates in the area.

SATURDAY VANGUARD gathered that the kidnappers, mostly said to be in military uniform, arrived at the livestock layout area, located on the edge of the popular Abuja livestock market, Dei-Dei, about 8 pm and carried out their operation quietly, as has been disclosed by residents.

As if this was not enough, barely 48 hours after the aforementioned kidnappers’ attack at Dei-Dei, also two children, alongside nine adults, were also whisked away at Gbaupe village, behind Aco Estate, along Airport Road in Abuja.

At the same period, a similar incident took place at the nearby Arab Road residential area, in Kubwa town, also along the highway, on Sunday, where seven residents were abducted by kidnappers believed to be sharing the same base in the bush, with that of the Dei-Dei operators.

Recently, no fewer than 85 persons, comprising both travellers and residents, were also said to have been abducted by terrorists at Katari along the Kaduna – Abuja highways near Katari, in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

It was also gathered that more than four residents were killed by the hoodlums. The breakdown of those abducted by the bloodthirsty terrorists indicated that between Thursday and Sunday, January 7, 2024, a total of 85 persons were abducted. And just on Thursday, 22 people were kidnapped in Kawu Village in Bwari Area Council.

The Kaduna State Police Command confirmed that there was a bandit attack on the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway at Dogon Fili near Katari. These insecurity issues, including the ‘one-chance’ occurrences in public transportation happen daily in Abuja, car snatchers, armed robbers, yet it seems like little or nothing is being done to tackle the growing insecurity concerns.

SATURDAY VANGUARD reports that in 2023 alone, no fewer than 36 people were killed and 339 others abducted from various communities in the territory.

However, following these incidents, some of the residents who spoke to our correspondent who visited the areas of the incidents, voiced their growing concerns over the alarming rise of kidnappings in the city.

Locals lament

Expressing frustration over the deteriorating security situation in Abuja, a Zuba based Trader, Mr. Ahmed Usman, said: “It’s terrifying to think that you or your loved ones could be snatched away at any moment. Abuja used to be a safe place, but now it feels like we’re walking on a tightrope.

“I can’t even let my children play outside anymore. It’s heartbreaking to witness this decline in safety and security in our once peaceful city.”

A traditional ruler in the FCT, who preferred anonymity, in a chat with our correspondent described the rate of kidnappings as quite disturbing.

“In fact, even at our security meeting with the FCT minister, I suggested that the vigilantes should be empowered with equipment and given some monthly stipends to enable them to engage these bandits. But the government seems to be giving more priority to the police”, he said.

A teacher, Mrs. Rebecca Akintola, said: “The increasing cases of kidnappings are truly horrifying and deeply concerning. It’s heart-wrenching to hear about innocent individuals, especially children, being taken away from their families and subjected to such unimaginable trauma.

“As these incidents continue to rise, it becomes paramount for our society to prioritize safety measures and put forth collective efforts to combat this heinous crime.”

Another resident of Gbaupe community, Moses Alpha, who spoke to our correspondent over the phone, said: “This kidnapping is due to a lack of adequate security in the area. In Fact it is not a new thing for us. We are only careful how we go and where we go. We have held a series of community meetings and it looks like our effort is not enough. The Government should intervene. We are just a small community, I believe something can be done to secure our life and property.”

A public school teacher, Beatrice Odeh, said: “This horrible, ugly and terrifying word, kidnapping, has become a common word in almost every household in most communities in Nigeria and FCT, the nation’s Capital, is not an exemption.

“This ugly incident happens on a daily basis and it’s so worrisome that things continue as if nothing is happening, only the affected families that bear the Ordeal helplessly. Unfortunately, the Federal Government that claims to have the citizens’ interests (security of lives and property) seems not to be aware of anything happening around them at all.

“FG, please your citizens are lamenting with the loudest tone ever heard. We believe in you, trust you and rely on your ability to eradicate this menace that is ravaging our communities. You can do it because you have the wherewithal FG. Shortly we should breathe in the fresh air of security in every nook and cranny of our communities in FCT and the whole country at large.”

Also speaking, the village head, Chief Danjuma Gejere, said the insecurity situation in the area is getting worse by the year, adding that the community has seen little or no intervention from the government to address this.
He, however, called on the FCT Minister to as a matter of urgency step into the matter, and ensure that needed number of security personnel are deployed to the area.

“I am very worried because as a leader I am answerable to my people and what has just happened is not good. Kidnapping in the FCT? It is troubling. The sad thing is that we have seen little government effort in this area of Gbaupe and I am calling on the Minister of Abuja who I know is a good man to step into this situation and bring justice to our people.”

CSOs, experts react

The founder, Connected Development, CODE, Hamzat Lawal, while bemoaning the insecurity alleged that part of the reason for increased kidnapping incidents in Abuja was because the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has a divided interest between being the Minister of FCT and partisan politics in River state.

He, therefore, urged the Minister to call on all security heads to chart a way towards ensuring sustainable security of lives and properties in the nation’s capital.

He said: “I think that we have an FCT Minister who is not focused. He is heavily distracted by the politics of Rivers state. Abuja is a city and as a minister he is the mayor and the chief executive of Abuja, and, I think, this calls for immediate action and attention where the Minister should call all the security heads from NSCDC to police and other arms of security agency and also traditional and religious leaders within the Metropolis and I also think that this is a high security alert and a call the Nigerian police.

“This is a festive period, and they must guarantee the safety of life and property, but I think most importantly, the FCF Minister needs to do away with politics that is distracting him and focus on keeping people in Abuja safe.

“We’ve not had this bad in the FCT. You know this is to be a safe haven. He needs to take us back to that and even much better and if he cannot guarantee the safety and protection of life and property in our Abuja then he has no business being the mayor of FCT.”

Speaking about the depth of insecurity in the nation’s capital, the Director General, Coalition of Nigeria Youth on Security and Safety Affairs, CONYSSA, Amb Ade Mario Emmanuel, said part of the reasons why insecurity thrives in the nation’s capital is because poor monitoring of areas where the city borders other states.
He tasked the federal government to as a matter of urgency increase the number of security personnel in FCT and tighten the security at the borders.

He said: “Insecurity in FCT is underreported and why it is underreported is because for the citizens not to be put on high risk of fear. From that end, some of the security challenges and security happenings within FCT should be underreported.

“But, be it as it may, the security agencies in FCT must understand two things: that if there is no proper security in the local communities and local borders that surround FCT, automatically FCT is very porous.

“If Gwagwalada is not well secured, bandits, and kidnappers will keep coming into FCT and kidnap and go successfully free. If the security of Kuje is not properly checked, it automatically means that criminals will enter FCT and go successfully. So, all these local communities should now be a serious focus because these are the hideouts of these criminal elements.

“We are calling on the Nigerian government that it is high time for the bill of the Peace Corps should be taken with seriousness because there is a shortage of manpower within the security architecture of the country.

“So, we are saying the security agencies are trying their best but they don’t have that strong manpower to curtail what is happening. Also, let there be an official constituted body to bring all heads of youth organizations together to bring a kind of holistic approach to the fight against crime.”

Speaking on why kidnapping has remained a moving business in Nigeria, particularly in Abuja, the Executive Director, of Resource Centre for Human Rights & Civic Education (CHRICED), Comrade Ibrahim M. Zikirullahi, said: “We are living in the era of insecurity in Nigeria and there’s no sign that it will abet soon because what you really drive people into crimes is poverty, unemployment and lack of good governance and all these are all in place and therefore, you have the mass population of you that are unemployed.

“Able-bodied men and women all over the country that are not productively engaged, then even the little means of survival that the people engage on has been completely taken away from them by the so-called removal of fuel subsidy and lack of provisions of basic facilities for the people.

“So, Abuja’s case became very pronounced because it is the capital of Nigeria and then it is also believed that most of the richest men and women in Nigeria reside in Abuja and therefore, it is easy for whoever that is kidnapped must more or less be someone of affluence that could easily pay the ransom. That is why Abuja case became worrisome.”

On the way forward, he said: “For me, I think the only way you in which we can overcome these challenges is when we go on governance is now situated in such a way that the people that are meant to benefit from the governance system, benefited and that is by providing employment, ensuring that both the young and the elderly are taken care of and then having the right policies in place that really shake corruption, not what we are having today.”

FCT police deploys rigorous strategies to prevent abductions

Against the backdrop of the kidnapping incidents in Abuja, the FCT Command Police Spokesperson, SP Josephine, while responding to questions on their action to the kidnapping of several persons at Baukpe Community, near Aco Estate, along Airport road, among others, said there is ongoing move to implement improved security measures to tackle abductions.

She said, “In response to concern of kidnapping incidents in the Federal Capital Territory, the FCT Police Command while declaring an unwavering commitment to fortifying security measures, have deployed rigorous strategies to prevent any attempts at kidnapping before, during, and after the yuletide seasons.

“While your safety remains our priority, we remain steadfast in our commitment to avert any potential threats and maintain the peace and security of the Federal Capital Territory.

“To bolster these efforts, residents are expected to exhibit unwavering cooperation with law enforcement agencies, acting patriotically to enhance overall security.”

Also reacting also on the recent banditry attack, the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered the deployment of police officers and security equipment to ensure the safety of travellers along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway.

Egbetokun also directed the deputy IG, Operations, Ede Ekpeji, to ensure the strict monitoring of the security personnel assigned to the route, adding that the presence of the equipped operatives will “act as a deterrent to criminal activities..”

Recently, no fewer than 85 persons, comprising both travellers and residents, were also said to have been abducted by terrorists at Katari along the Kaduna – Abuja highways near Katari, in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

It was also gathered that more than four residents were killed by the hoodlums. The breakdown of those abducted by the bloodthirsty terrorists indicated that between Thursday and Sunday, January 7, 2024, a total of 85 persons were abducted. And just on Thursday, 22 people were kidnapped in Kawu Village in Bwari Area Council.

The Kaduna State Police Command confirmed that there was a bandit attack on the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway at Dogon Fili near Katari. These insecurity issues, including the ‘one-chance’ occurrences in public transportation happen daily in Abuja, car snatchers, armed robbers, yet it seems like little or nothing is being done to tackle the growing insecurity concerns.

SATURDAY VANGUARD reports that in 2023 alone, no fewer than 36 people were killed and 339 others abducted from various communities in the territory.

However, following these incidents, some of the residents who spoke to our correspondent who visited the areas of the incidents, voiced their growing concerns over the alarming rise of kidnappings in the city.

Locals lament

Expressing frustration over the deteriorating security situation in Abuja, a Zuba based Trader, Mr. Ahmed Usman, said: “It’s terrifying to think that you or your loved ones could be snatched away at any moment. Abuja used to be a safe place, but now it feels like we’re walking on a tightrope.

“I can’t even let my children play outside anymore. It’s heartbreaking to witness this decline in safety and security in our once peaceful city.”

A traditional ruler in the FCT, who preferred anonymity, in a chat with our correspondent described the rate of kidnappings as quite disturbing.

“In fact, even at our security meeting with the FCT minister, I suggested that the vigilantes should be empowered with equipment and given some monthly stipends to enable them to engage these bandits. But the government seems to be giving more priority to the police”, he said.

A teacher, Mrs. Rebecca Akintola, said: “The increasing cases of kidnappings are truly horrifying and deeply concerning. It’s heart-wrenching to hear about innocent individuals, especially children, being taken away from their families and subjected to such unimaginable trauma.

“As these incidents continue to rise, it becomes paramount for our society to prioritize safety measures and put forth collective efforts to combat this heinous crime.”

Another resident of Gbaupe community, Moses Alpha, who spoke to our correspondent over the phone, said: “This kidnapping is due to a lack of adequate security in the area. In Fact it is not a new thing for us. We are only careful how we go and where we go. We have held a series of community meetings and it looks like our effort is not enough. The Government should intervene. We are just a small community, I believe something can be done to secure our life and property.”

A public school teacher, Beatrice Odeh, said: “This horrible, ugly and terrifying word, kidnapping, has become a common word in almost every household in most communities in Nigeria and FCT, the nation’s Capital, is not an exemption.

“This ugly incident happens on a daily basis and it’s so worrisome that things continue as if nothing is happening, only the affected families that bear the Ordeal helplessly. Unfortunately, the Federal Government that claims to have the citizens’ interests (security of lives and property) seems not to be aware of anything happening around them at all.

“FG, please your citizens are lamenting with the loudest tone ever heard. We believe in you, trust you and rely on your ability to eradicate this menace that is ravaging our communities. You can do it because you have the wherewithal FG. Shortly we should breathe in the fresh air of security in every nook and cranny of our communities in FCT and the whole country at large.”

Also speaking, the village head, Chief Danjuma Gejere, said the insecurity situation in the area is getting worse by the year, adding that the community has seen little or no intervention from the government to address this.
He, however, called on the FCT Minister to as a matter of urgency step into the matter, and ensure that needed number of security personnel are deployed to the area.

“I am very worried because as a leader I am answerable to my people and what has just happened is not good. Kidnapping in the FCT? It is troubling. The sad thing is that we have seen little government effort in this area of Gbaupe and I am calling on the Minister of Abuja who I know is a good man to step into this situation and bring justice to our people.”

CSOs, experts react

The founder, Connected Development, CODE, Hamzat Lawal, while bemoaning the insecurity alleged that part of the reason for increased kidnapping incidents in Abuja was because the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has a divided interest between being the Minister of FCT and partisan politics in River state.

He, therefore, urged the Minister to call on all security heads to chart a way towards ensuring sustainable security of lives and properties in the nation’s capital.

He said: “I think that we have an FCT Minister who is not focused. He is heavily distracted by the politics of Rivers state. Abuja is a city and as a minister he is the mayor and the chief executive of Abuja, and, I think, this calls for immediate action and attention where the Minister should call all the security heads from NSCDC to police and other arms of security agency and also traditional and religious leaders within the Metropolis and I also think that this is a high security alert and a call the Nigerian police.

“This is a festive period, and they must guarantee the safety of life and property, but I think most importantly, the FCF Minister needs to do away with politics that is distracting him and focus on keeping people in Abuja safe.

“We’ve not had this bad in the FCT. You know this is to be a safe haven. He needs to take us back to that and even much better and if he cannot guarantee the safety and protection of life and property in our Abuja then he has no business being the mayor of FCT.”

Speaking about the depth of insecurity in the nation’s capital, the Director General, Coalition of Nigeria Youth on Security and Safety Affairs, CONYSSA, Amb Ade Mario Emmanuel, said part of the reasons why insecurity thrives in the nation’s capital is because poor monitoring of areas where the city borders other states.
He tasked the federal government to as a matter of urgency increase the number of security personnel in FCT and tighten the security at the borders.

He said: “Insecurity in FCT is underreported and why it is underreported is because for the citizens not to be put on high risk of fear. From that end, some of the security challenges and security happenings within FCT should be underreported.

“But, be it as it may, the security agencies in FCT must understand two things: that if there is no proper security in the local communities and local borders that surround FCT, automatically FCT is very porous.

“If Gwagwalada is not well secured, bandits, and kidnappers will keep coming into FCT and kidnap and go successfully free. If the security of Kuje is not properly checked, it automatically means that criminals will enter FCT and go successfully. So, all these local communities should now be a serious focus because these are the hideouts of these criminal elements.

“We are calling on the Nigerian government that it is high time for the bill of the Peace Corps should be taken with seriousness because there is a shortage of manpower within the security architecture of the country.

“So, we are saying the security agencies are trying their best but they don’t have that strong manpower to curtail what is happening. Also, let there be an official constituted body to bring all heads of youth organizations together to bring a kind of holistic approach to the fight against crime.”

Speaking on why kidnapping has remained a moving business in Nigeria, particularly in Abuja, the Executive Director, of Resource Centre for Human Rights & Civic Education (CHRICED), Comrade Ibrahim M. Zikirullahi, said: “We are living in the era of insecurity in Nigeria and there’s no sign that it will abet soon because what you really drive people into crimes is poverty, unemployment and lack of good governance and all these are all in place and therefore, you have the mass population of you that are unemployed.

“Able-bodied men and women all over the country that are not productively engaged, then even the little means of survival that the people engage on has been completely taken away from them by the so-called removal of fuel subsidy and lack of provisions of basic facilities for the people.

“So, Abuja’s case became very pronounced because it is the capital of Nigeria and then it is also believed that most of the richest men and women in Nigeria reside in Abuja and therefore, it is easy for whoever that is kidnapped must more or less be someone of affluence that could easily pay the ransom. That is why Abuja case became worrisome.”

On the way forward, he said: “For me, I think the only way you in which we can overcome these challenges is when we go on governance is now situated in such a way that the people that are meant to benefit from the governance system, benefited and that is by providing employment, ensuring that both the young and the elderly are taken care of and then having the right policies in place that really shake corruption, not what we are having today.”

FCT police deploys rigorous strategies to prevent abductions

Against the backdrop of the kidnapping incidents in Abuja, the FCT Command Police Spokesperson, SP Josephine, while responding to questions on their action to the kidnapping of several persons at Baukpe Community, near Aco Estate, along Airport road, among others, said there is ongoing move to implement improved security measures to tackle abductions.

She said, “In response to concern of kidnapping incidents in the Federal Capital Territory, the FCT Police Command while declaring an unwavering commitment to fortifying security measures, have deployed rigorous strategies to prevent any attempts at kidnapping before, during, and after the yuletide seasons.

“While your safety remains our priority, we remain steadfast in our commitment to avert any potential threats and maintain the peace and security of the Federal Capital Territory.

“To bolster these efforts, residents are expected to exhibit unwavering cooperation with law enforcement agencies, acting patriotically to enhance overall security.”

Also reacting also on the recent banditry attack, the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered the deployment of police officers and security equipment to ensure the safety of travellers along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway.

Egbetokun also directed the deputy IG, Operations, Ede Ekpeji, to ensure the strict monitoring of the security personnel assigned to the route, adding that the presence of the equipped operatives will “act as a deterrent to criminal activities..”
