The spate of kidnappings across Nigeria has become very worrisome.

Hardly a day passes without report of somebody or some people being abducted in one place or another especially on the highways.


In the past few weeks, many Nigerians, from the high to the low, have been kidnapped.

The kidnapping business in Nigeria from North to east, south and west has been mostly perpetrated by criminal gangs and violent groups.

Sadly, it has become such a threat that many are wondering how not to fall victims.

Pray to avoid being a victim
At this critical phase, no one is safe. Hence, seeking God’s refuge appears to be the only way out in terms of spiritual protection.

For the victims and their families and friends, the consequences are even more frightful, and that is why one must pray to avoid being a victim.

· Stop routine movements
Driving or walking through the same route will make it easy for suspecting abductors to gather information about you and can make it easy for them to track you down when they are ready to strike.

Find other streets or highways you can use when driving from home to work and back.

· Don’t discuss your family with strangers
Whatever issues you have with your family must not be discussed with strangers.

This is to maintain safety as it has been reported previously that kidnappers also gather information from those in one’s neighborhood.

· Do proper checks before employing workers
Before you employ your new house keeper, driver or any other employee, please do a proper background check about that person.

Know the family members and let the person give the name of a guarantor that can stand in for him or her.

This should be done because some people who are kidnappers may pretend to be seeking employment with you.

· Maintain a moderate lifestyle
To avoid being kidnapped, you should check your lifestyle. If you have been living loud, try to do it in moderation now by adorning not-too-expensive wears that announce you.

Don’t discuss money publicly
To avoid being a victim of kidnappers, another area you must check is receiving phone calls that involve discussing money, especially huge sums.

When you discuss such amounts of money in public, you send signals to kidnappers that you are rich and can be their victim.

· Know your neighbours
To avoid living close to a potential kidnapper, get to know that person living close to you well. Find out if the person is living alone or not and the kind of job that person does for a living.

· Don’t get too close to a stranger
People that you don’t know, try not to share valuable information with them. That stranger may be a kidnapper in disguise so avoid strictly any stranger that tries to move close to you unnecessarily.

· Keep emergency numbers
It is important to keep emergency numbers like contacts of Police that you can quickly call whenever you sense you are being monitored by kidnappers or you notice anything strange in your environment.

Do not accept rides from strangers
Once you get into a stranger’s car, you are at their mercy.

They could either incapacitate you or hold you hostage and you might not have an opportunity to defend yourself.

· Be careful with revealing data on social media
Be careful not to reveal too much about yourself or your family members via social media. No need to flaunt new cars, houses, or condominium units.

Never reveal addresses and be sure to turn off the GPS function on your smartphones. Don’t post on social media the places you frequent.

Some people are unaware that Facebook and other sites reveal the specific location from where you are posting on social media.

· Be vigilant not only at night but at all times
It is true that most kidnapping crimes occur at night but there are also a few cases that happen in broad daylight. We should always be vigilant, not only at night.

· Keep your financial transactions

More strength to you, and keep it up, Sir/ma'am.
If I don't follow a moniker such as yours, wetin I gain?
It's your type I keep seeking out in this forum to follow. I may not be upright the way I desire, but I know my spiritual standing, and I know that I'm always seeking to grow more in this our faith. I feel comforted when I stumble upon some certain messages from those who try to be evangelists in NL. Until we all come to the unity of faith that is in Christ Jesus, the journey continues.
Whenever I feel comfortable with any undiluted messages of the good news from a NL account, I follow. I must first feel some conviction in my mind.
