The level
at which young ladies go missing in Nigeria is becoming very alarming. No day
that passes without having to hear a story of a missing person mostly working
class ladies.
I do not want to draw the line that our leaders have failed us yet but with
this kind of news, I can easily say that no one is safe. It seems like our law
enforcement agencies aren't doing as much as was expected of them, If not, how
can we describe the incessant missing of persons in and around Lagos axis.
Few days ago, a lady by name Oluwakemi Soyebo, was reported missing after
leaving her place of work for home. All efforts to reach out to her proved
abortive as her phones were not reachable. However, it has been reported that
Ms Soyebo has been found but very confused at d moment. This is one case of
missing persons too many around Lagos.
The police recently announced that about 45 persons have been declared missing
since January 2019. This is quite worrisome considering that Lagos state
as a mega city with so many resources should be on top of security
challenges.
Whatever the motives behind the people committing this crime are, it is totally
condemnable. A lot of people will assume that it is for ritual purposes but I ask,
how can a human-being be made to bring out or vomit money?
Have we lost it as a people? Why have we allowed greed, covetousness and hunger
for wealth regardless of the means it is gotten eat deep into our system? Do
these killers, kidnappers or ritualists have human sympathy at all?
Self love is all we need to conquer whatever evil desire we have
in life.
On this note, I will advise ladies especially to be careful and
watchful. They should ensure they get home before dusk from work. They should
know the kind of friends they keep and always report any suspicious moment to
the law enforcement agencies.
As for our government, they should ensure they come up with
measures that will stamp out these nefarious activities. They earlier they act
the better for us all.
Safe and accommodating environments are essential to our well being.
Let’s shun violence and embrace peace.
