It’s Impossible To End Kidnapping In Nigeria —Wike

Last updated on September 11th, 2021 at 03:14 pm

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said that the commercialisation of kidnapping has made it impossible to end the menace.

Wike, who made this remark on Monday during a courtesy visit by the Rotary International District 9141, to the Government House in Port Harcourt, explained that since kidnapping had become business, it could only be reduced to the barest minimum.

He said;

“It is now impossible to stop kidnapping in Nigeria; it (kidnapping) is now a business. It has been commercialised.

“It is now a major business. Everyone must partner with the government to ensure that we reduce it to the barest minimum. But it cannot be totally eradicated.”
