Sequel to the below thread the made frontpage about a lady that was kidnapped in Etche LGA in Rivers State:

I saw a few comments from nairalanders who said Etche is a well known place for kidnapping, and so I decided to run a simple google search with the key words 'Etche Rivers kidnapping'.

Wow, the results I saw are mind blowing

Especially this lady's case that seemed to have happened in 2021:

She said the guys who kidnapped them took them to a place in the forest that was a market place for human parts, especially females who have never given birth.

The stories of kidnappings in Etche seem to be endless from the results on Google search. Infact, there appears to have been many threads created here on nairaland by people who have been victims.

It seems the Etche community and traditional rulers are well aware of this. My question is, how are people coping in that area? Given the place is known for such, what's security doing about it?

How big is the Etche forest that these things can continually go on even though quite a number of kidnappers have been arrested?

I still don't know why nothing has been done by the rampant kidnapping in that lga. Its getting out of hand

Etche is the Zamfara of southern NIGERIA

Most of the politicians from River State replenish their body parts bank from the terrors that happen in that place .. hence their reluctance to stem the situation
