When Kidnappers first abducted a prominent traditional ruler in Kaduna State, the Agwom Adara, Maiwada Raphael Galadima, in 2018, and demanded N18 million Naira ransom, many in the State thought it would be the last incident in Kaduna State.
But after his Kidnap and gruesome murder by his abductors, the business of Kidnapping blossomed even as security operatives continue to remain helpless amid the declaration of war by bandits against Kaduna people.
In most cases, at midnight when their victims were fast asleep, Kidnappers will come knocking at the doors. Sometimes, the sound of gunshots brings to an end, the joyful sleep of their victims.
