Reports indicate that an official of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Enugu, Nigeria, was recently abducted by gunmen. The kidnappers are allegedly demanding a ransom of N50 million for the official’s release. This incident underscores the persistent security challenges in Nigeria, especially with rising cases of kidnappings across various states, which affect not only civilians but also government officials and agencies.
The FRSC is responsible for road safety and accident prevention in Nigeria, and attacks like this impact the agency’s work and heighten concerns about the safety of officials in the line of duty. Security forces are likely to be mobilized to handle the situation, as both the agency and local authorities address the growing threat of kidnappings in the region.
