Kidnapping: Kaduna drivers cautioned

Chairman, Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, Mando Chapter in Kaduna, Ibrahim Danborno, has cautioned drivers against embarking on night journeys to avoid falling victims of kidnappers.

Danborno gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Kaduna.

He noted that although security agents were doing their best, drivers especially those who operate commercial fleets should avoid traveling at night, so as not to endanger their lives of passengers.

Transport unions across the country should continue to sensitise their members on the dangers of night journey.

“Much as kidnappings still occur even during the day, chances of its occurrence are higher at night,” he said.

The official said for now, articulated vehicles prefer to travel at night for convenience, but advised drivers of other vehicles to stay off the road at night for their security and safety.
