By Hassan Idris The surge of kidnapping, insurgency, and Boko Haram incidents in recent time in Nigeria has been overwhelmingly alarming. This perpetual act of criminality is perpetrated by well established and emerging criminal groups as well as individual criminals for different degrees of reasons. The kidnapping of Chibok and Dapchi girls among other prominent cases of kidnapping orchestrated by the Boko Haram sect is a greater dirge that has remained in the hearts of many Nigerians. The killings of our fathers, mothers, children; raping of our women and destruction of properties in Borno, Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto, and Kaduna by armed-Bandits is painfully in the hearts of many Nigerians. Kidnapping cuts across all the regions in Nigeria and anyone could be kidnapped at any time depending on the immediate security situation.The reasons for kidnapping tends to differ; many of these criminals indulge in the act of kidnapping for pecuniary gains and achievements.
