Another Kidnapping in Kaduna? One too many please
Kaduna:gggg What is happening?
Thursday the 25th September 2009, another person was abducted … a popular businessman in Zaria city, he is Alhaji Bala Bello. Kaduna has seen so many ‘funny’ things – religious conflict, ethnic and religious chauvinisms and now kidnapping.
Alhaji Bala is the third person to be kidnapped this year alone. First the Canadian Woman, then the Secretary to the State Governmegghhnnnt and now the businessman. Who knows – may be several other persons who are not known because they don’t have money or are not holding senior government positions. Now the level of insecurity is sure to increase. Many more people are now living in fear, and of course it should be obvious to people in the security that, these successful kidnapping will elicit more kidnapping.
It is unfortunate that government has been caught napping again. And these successful kidnKaduna: What is happening?

It is unfortunate that government has been caught napping again. And these successful kidnapping now make it more impossible for anyone to argue that Nigeria should become a member of the United Nations Security Council. It shows that the Nigerian project is failing. And it is worrying because government appears to be working to fulfill the prediction of the United States Security that Nigeria, as it is now, may disappear from the map.
What responsible government would joke with the health of its people. Read how snakes are killing people in the North Eastern states of Nigeria or how Islamic terrorist abducted people, forcefully converted them, and killed those who refuse to convert. These are things that can only happen in failed states like Afghanistan and Somalia.
I hope President Yar’Adua will return from Saudi Arabia energised to stem the tide.
