Insecurity; Travelling on the highway is a serious risk — NURTW

The fear of Fulani herdsmen is now the beginning of wisdom in the South-West as commuters and drivers now resort to prayer and fasting before setting out on their journey.

Several unpleasant encounters with highway criminals by both drivers and commuters have left travellers to conclude that they are no longer safe in the South-West.

Also, there is a general fear in the mind of travellers because of the spate of kidnapping, armed robbery, and other criminalities on the roads.

Travellers and motorists, who spoke with Vanguard, expressed worry over the safety of the roads in the region.

Despite the coming on board of the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun, motorists feel they are not safe on the highways.
