Ruger Sounds Alarm Over Rising Kidnapping Threats in Nigeria

Nigerian singer Ruger is raising the alarm.

The Asiwaju crooner warns that travelers heading to Nigeria or moving around the country this December could face serious danger.

Kidnapping, he says, has become a full-time business in some areas.

The festive season could make it even worse if urgent action is not taken.

Ruger fears people returning to their villages from abroad or traveling across Nigeria will be prime targets.

Criminals, he warns, are expected to strike hard.

Fans are already reacting online, sharing concern and urging caution as the festive season approaches.

I’m scared for people this December. Kidnapping has become a full time business in some parts of Nigeria and it’s only gonna get worse this festive season. People will travel back to their villages from abroad and from many other places in Nigeria. These bastards will strike hard
