The PUNCH had in January reported that civil society groups, under the aegis of the Civil Society Joint Action Group, said 17,469 Nigerians were abducted under the Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu administrations from 2019 to date. With the waves of insecurity and kidnapping for ransom, here are safety tips that may protect you from being a victim. Avoid standing by the roadside to board a bus to pay cheaper fare. Avoid travelling at night, particularly on bad, poorly lit roads if you can. – Respect curfews or restrictions imposed on the movement of vehicles and persons on the road or at your destination.
