Amidst the spate of kidnappings and insecurity that has plagued the nation in recent times, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that there is no rise in kidnapping in the south western part of Nigeria, urging the public to disregard information circulating on social media about the security situation in the region.
Adejobi revealed this in an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, attributing the cause of the kidnappings to topography and water ways.
“In most cases it is the topography of the areas. The kidnapping in lagos was actually triggered due to the waterways, do you know that the water way from Lagos leads to Delta, leads to Portharcourt, leads to Bayelsa. It is thesame waterway.”

The PRO who also reiterated on his X page said that most of the kidnapping cases reported online were either staged or faked.
He wrote, “Most of the kidnapping cases we read online are not real. They are either staged and faked. We analyse security situations based on empirical facts and figures.
“We will have another forum or many other organized fora to discuss these concepts of kidnapping, abduction, one change, armed robbery, organised crimes, and arranged assassination.
“These are different concepts or crimes that we need to understand, and the psychology of the perpetrators. No sentiment, but realities.
“Open your mind to discussions and explanations of experts and security operatives for better understanding.”
