In a heart-wrenching plea, Nigerian activist Scott Iguma has revealed that his uncle was kidnapped in broad daylight in Edo State, raising serious concerns about security in the region. 

According to Iguma, the abductors are demanding a staggering N50 million ransom, threatening that they will “kpai him” if their demands are not met.

Reacting to this terrifying incident, Iguma took to social media to cry out for immediate help, directly appealing to the Edo State Governor and President Bola Tinubu to intervene. He lamented, “Nigeria has finally happened to me. My uncle has been kidn@pped in a broad daylight in Edo State. They are demanding ransom of N50 million, and if we don’t pay, they will kpai him.”

This shocking case comes amid growing concerns over the rise in kidnapping and ransom cases in Nigeria, especially in the southern states. Edo State, known for its cultural heritage and thriving communities, has in recent months witnessed an alarming increase in high-profile abductions, sparking fear among residents and citizens.

Security experts have repeatedly warned that kidnappers are becoming bolder, often striking in broad daylight and demanding exorbitant ransoms from families. Iguma’s public appeal highlights not just a personal tragedy but also the urgent need for government action to protect citizens and combat the menace of kidnappings.

Social media users and concerned Nigerians have rallied around Iguma, urging authorities to deploy security forces immediately and bring the abductors to justice. While families of victims often face immense pressure during ransom negotiations, activists like Iguma are calling for swift intervention from both state and federal authorities to ensure safety and prevent further loss of lives.

The incident underscores a growing national concern over public safety and law enforcement efficiency in Nigeria, with citizens calling for proactive measures to curb the rising threat of kidnappings across the country.
