One of the social ills that characterized the early stage of the Niger-Delta militancy was kidnapping

In recent times, it has metamorphosed into a money spinning venture that has gradually spread its tentacles to other parts of the country.

The menace is disturbing and equally worrisome. Our newspapers and media houses are already over-burdened by news columns and blinking headlines about the havoc and the callousness of these kidnappers.

In 2015, the mother of the former minister of finance and the coordinator of the economy, Dr Okonjo Iweala was kidnapped.

In the same year, Dr Olu Falae was equally kidnapped, just to mention a few.

In late 2016, the wife of Godwin Emiefele, the Central Bank Governor was kidnapped. It was one of the biggest kidnapping news in the recent times that hit the media waves.
