"....Abuja was intended or assumed to be a heaven of peace and an oasis of comfort for the elites.The troubles in other parts of the country have now crept in.Abuja can only be safe if the whole country is safe.

The deterioration of security in parts of Abuja is a direct result of the paralysis of the security situation in the states around Abuja.Abuja cannot be immune as long as its neighbors are infected...."

Abuja cannot be immuned as long as any part of the country is not immuned, infact, no part of the country can be immuned from insecurity as long as other parts are not secured.
When we were being taught thermodynamics those years, they taught us that a system can only be in thermal equilibrium only as long as every components of that system are in equilibrium, else there will be diffusion. Molecules from the components at higher temperature will drift into region of lower temperature until equilibrium is attained. The same principle applies to a nation if viewed as a system.

Shouldn't we just blame it on Abujaipob, and walk away?

Kidnaping is possibly lesser in Lagos or non-existent due to the proximity of individuals to eachother, it's face to face nature, effectively acting like a biological CCTV system. Even if you managed to secure victims unseen, you'll need to move them. You can't move far in a congested, eye-full place like lagos - hostages in tow - without being spotted, your final destination known.

Pastoshizzy:
Their are kidnappers in different part of the world. It's not exclusive to Nigeria alone (so stop cutting your nose to spite your face).

We need a better trained, equipped and sensitive police. Also, a society willing to assist.

It can be done if one tribe isn't always doing overtime to disrepute the other. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The monsters they created and unleashed have transformed beyond their power and they think they can be safe?

Litmus:
I still maintain that CCTV network implementation is best. The writer mentions "low fruits"; well, you'll be hard-pressed finding a more effective lower hanging fruit than CCTV systems with associated ecosystem. CCTV and Monitoring centers are bog standard basic although expensive. kidnaping organisations will simply abandon high level banking if pushed. A system that tracks movement live, kidnapers will find difficult to evade.

Almost 80% of kidnapping incidents in Nigeria occurs on the highway.

In this thread I created I suggested using drones to combat it.

Excerpts:

"Kidnappers often use their victim's phones to make and receive calls during negotiation and they also receive ransom in cash so Pantami and those advocating for NIN to checkmate abductions are wasting their time.

The best way to combat this is for the security agencies to identify and list out kidnapping flashpoints recorded in the last one year in the country. Example; Abuja-Kaduna road, Enugu-Benue road, Lagos-Ibadan expressway etc and the portion or parts of the roads where the abductions took place.

I recommend the use of drones in combating the menace. Drones can effectively be used in surveillance, intelligence gathering and in launching strikes. The camera on drones can help in identifying enemy bases and troop movement and can strike when signalled.

There is this Iranian-made drone that has been instrumental to Russia's success in Ukraine; "Shahed-136". It's cheaper (about N20million), has long-range capability and can strike target effectively. It's loitering munitions can go upto 12hrs in identifying targets.

Acquiring few dozens of this and effectively deploying it to troubled areas will end kindnapping and banditry on the highway in matter of months 'no jokes'."

Unfortunately, the merceneries that were imported from Niger republic and Chad by that sickler and his facilitators, to make dog and baboon soak in blood have now gone beyond their control.

Your last paragraph is a wild goose chase. Therefore, no genuine progress anywhere.

musicwriter:
Someone should tell the author that the security agents are well aware of all the technologies to use and how to solve the problem. But kidnapping is a business and revenues are shared with so many conspirators, including your darling security people.

Recently, the security agents traced me to access bank using same geotagging tool and even planted informants around there to check when I come around and what I do. What they don't know is that I am their oga when it comes to information and intelligence gathering. They have no idea that I've already battled it out with the criminal CIA and MI16 for the past 10 years and nothing came out of it, not even a "smoking gun" to hold on to. So, their African slave agents are like someone using a bicycle to chase an F35 supersonic fighter jet. And none of them is trained for the job!! I see them all the time and I ask myself: how did this fool make it to the secret service??

What are they looking for? They are looking for a "smoking gun" to arrest me, so that I'll stop blogging on www.africason.com for the interest of their white masters and some criminal Nigerian pastors who think that I am disruptive for their business.

I've warned the bank that any day I see them again, I'll petition them for conspiracy because these agents themselves are criminals engaged in extra-official assignment. I am working on a letter to the president to let him know how corrupt the secret services.

The secret services are too corrupt. That's the problem.

A wild goose chase? (nobody ever used that idiom for yours truly.. EVER)
There must be geese all over Nairaland though (lol). Ain't chasing nothing, it's either you see it (as it is) or you can't. Ain't nobody chasing wild geese 🤷🏾‍♂️
I just had a phone call with 'genuine progress'. I'm all smiles.




Just let me be, okay!

joseph1832:
Hmm. Your tales about being chased by foreign security agency sounds too good to be true. Don't get me wrong, I know the white man can't be trusted the way a man who sell fake spare parts in Alaba International can't be trusted, but, I just feel why would the CIA and MI6 come after you when you're not a terrorist or even a security threat to them?

musicwriter:

That's because like most of us, you don't know how the world works.

To them, a threat doesn't necessarily mean a literal terrorist but anybody knowledge enough to question Western world domination or and how we can be truly independent as a third world country. I mean, things like how to speak, write and master our native languages, learn and master science using our native languages, build technology using self inspired knowledge and not what they teach us, build a powerful black civilization that could rival them, etc. They don't like that type of people. To them, you're supposed to assume that this is the way the world is meant to be and work.

A political activist could be a terrorist. An author could be a terrorist, etc.

If you need more information, go to www.africason.com and read the article that says "how the CIA and MI16 lure innocent people to commit terrorism"
