The Digest:
Abuja is witnessing a surge in criminal activities from ‘one-chance’ syndicates, primarily targeting women. These criminals abduct passengers, rob them, and often leave them for dead. Over the past week, multiple deaths have been linked to these syndicates, raising significant concerns among residents. Despite repeated warnings from authorities and public outcry, many feel the city’s security infrastructure is not equipped to handle this growing threat. The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, had previously called for a coordinated national approach to combat such crimes, but residents remain alarmed by the increasing frequency of these incidents.
