In this case the kidnappers are of the same tribe working together at very short distance to each other. 

*Mechanism of Action*

🔥 You suddenly see a man in front of you beside the road in an unexplained area,  that is an area leading to nowhere.

🔥 When you move close to him and after sizing up your car from afar he enters the bush again in your presence. 

🔥 He then call his colleagues who are at a very short distance away to effect the kidnapping.

🔥 Please note the moment you see this group of kidnappers in front, you have already walked Into an ambush as some of them are already behind you. 

❌❌❌❌ Any reverse = *DEATH. ❌❌*

 

*3. The Crude Brute System.* 

Latest entrants into the kidnappers strategy. 

These types are CRUDE and VERY BRUTAL. They are great risk takers. They care less about security agencies. 

🔥 They work alone and kidnap anyone they see No matter how poor. 

🔥 They have no time to access anyone.

*Mechanism of Action*

         🔥They jump at any road of their choice at anytime of the day and start shooting at any incoming traffic, no matter the speed. 

         🔥They kill as many as those hit by bullets at random and carry away those who survive the wreck that ensued after the shooting. 

*POST KIDNAPPING*

          After kidnapping, the kidnappers make everyone to understand that they are in serious business by

        1. Incessant Threat language at gun point

        2. Regular slaps 

        3. Removal of Shoes and slippers of victims to make them miserable while walking on sharp stones, thorns, shrubs etc to create injuries on their feets to ensure early soberness.

       4. Walking in circles for hours to disorient the victims in terms of time and place and position. 

       5. Late initiation of negotiation until the victim is thoroughly sober and dying slowly..

       6. Release after collection of ransom. 

      7. Death.

Death after Ransom

This occur rather too often in some cases.

     6. Gunshot from the kidnappers due to 

     7. Attempt to escape

     8. Too Weak victim who cannot move again.

*Why they still collect ransom after death.*

The kidnappers see each operation as an investement and hence no matter what happens to the victim they still want to maximize the gains of each operation. 

*Can kidnappers release a victim without collecting ransom ?*

YES, very possible : This is common in the spy system.  

Where the spy called them and said that they have kidnapped the wrong person or that the person kidnapped will generate too much heat and stress for them from the security agencies or from the community.

An example avail of a person kidnapped  and was later released and given transport money the following day by the kidnappers  when some issues arose.

Good morning all. 

I want you all to be mindful of your security. Even as you pray listen to news regularly.

The country is going through very difficult and unsafe times. Presently there are calls from foreign concerns to declare Nigeria a failed state. This is because of the level of insecurity in the country presently. 

We all need to be concerned about our safety. Do not say it can never happen to me. No one is safe. Relatives of the President have been kidnapped, Men of God, Security men etc. No one is safe, nowhere is safe. Let us try and observe strict security protocols, as we continue to pray.

*ONE*

So I direct you all never to stay out of the house late.

Come back home or stay close to your house latest 6pm

*TWO*

Do not travel in marked vehicles. For example, vehicles bearing names, company etc. 

*THREE*

Do not travel in groups. If you are to go for a program, move alone.

*FOUR*

If your area is being attacked, switch of all lights including any switch with lights no matter how tiny. Remove all jewelry on your body and wrap your phone in a cloth to prevent light reflection that can betray your position. 

If you hear gunshot, leave your bed and lie flat under the bed and out of your window. Get out of sight. Lie close to any wall.

*FIVE*

Do not take ride in any vehicle that you don't know. Take public transportation at all times.

*SIX*

When you go out, dress normal and neat not flashy. Never wear any clothes that can get you noticed or identified. 

*SEVEN*

If you are going out to somewhere, tell someone where you are going to and the expected time of your arrival. If possible don't go alone.

*EIGHT*

On no account should you visit online friends. People who you meet on social media, you should never visit them either in public or in their home or office. NEVER.

*NINE*

Speak very little when you are in the public and never comment on government or political issues.

*TEN*

Always maintain call credit on your phone and always ensure you have power on it or buy power bank. You may need to make contact incase of ATTACK. 

*ELEVEN*

If under attack, do not make voice calls, because sound travels faster and quietly at night, just ring the number repeatedly if the person pick, don't speak. Just send text. When doing that do it under cover so that your phone will not reflect any ray of light.

*TWELVE*

Don't buy group dress from anyone for now. No matter how close they are to you , don't buy. 

*THIRTEEN*

Don't attend parties that you are not closely concerned.

*FOURTEEN*

If at all, you come under attack, remember there are only 2 rules to guide you. 

*1) DO NOT PANIC*

*2) NOT TO FORGET RULE 1* 

If you panic, you will attract attention of the attackers to yourselves, and you will not remember exactly what you need to do to keep you safe.

*FIFTEEN*

This is not the time to do fashion or to showcase your new clothing and shoes. Anytime you go out wear dress and especially shoes that will allow you to run incase you need to get out of troubled area fast. Wear cheap shoes that you can throw away if it impedes your movement. Your dress should not hinder your ability to run. 

*SIXTEEN*

Prepare for any eventuality. Do not say it can't happen. Be Prepared. Trouble can happen anywhere any time. Remember your life is very important,not your phone or your property. 

*SEVENTEEN*

If you have to run, throw away anything in your hand. Save yourself first. Don't wait to pick anything that drop from your hands. Run as fast as you can.

*EIGHTEEN*

If there is shooting, try the rules. Do not panic. The fact that you heard the gunshot means that you are not hit. If you are hit, you will not hear the SOUND. 

#. Reduce your height first by bending down as close to the ground as possible. 

#. Then try and identify the direction of the shots first then draw a cross putting the direction of the shot at north or south, run East or WEST. 

#. Never run straight line in opposite direction because bullets travel at straight line and never run toward the point of the gunshot. 

#. As you are moving out of the troubled area, identify hard objects or structures that you can use as protection where you can hide. 

#. If you notice the sound is coming closer, shift your location a little as you continue to run. If not, find a safe place and hide in sitting position to avoid stray bullets from hitting you. 

*NINETEEN*

At this moment, avoid arguments with People. When you notice people are showing anger, don't wait to settle them, move out of the place as quickly and quietly as you can. Just yesterday  in Ado Ekiti  someone was trying to settle an argument, he was stabbed and he died on the spot. Don't go to places of incidents to go and look what's happening.

*TWENTY*

At this moment, stay as close as possible to your home. Know the shortest possible routes to your home incase you need to get home quickly.

Always keep some change at hand. Not much, maybe 2k or less incase you need to board a public transport out of any trouble area.

*OPEN YOUR EYES AND BE ALERT.*

_Suspect everything including people and places._...
