There are reports of the rising spate of organ harvesting, trafficking and kidnapping in Nigeria.
It is indeed evil to butcher human beings like animals for the despicable purpose of selling their organs like kidneys, liver, heart, private parts, among others, appears to be a fallout of incessant cases of kidnapping and banditry across the nation.
Indications are rife that criminal elements like kidnappers and bandits sometimes resort to this Satan- inspired trade when victims cannot meet their ransom demands. In their erroneous thinking, it is a way of ensuring that they don’t ‘lose out’ entirely.
Other reports however,
seem to indicate that those involved in the barbaric act, allegedly collude with some of those in need of these human organs for medical reasons.
Revelations from kidnap victims who reportedly escaped luckily from
being butchered by kidnappers and bandits, are indeed terrifying.
Horrifying reports emerged that those savages involved in the act usually hijack vehicles on transit, and force the passengers into the forests where they are eventually slaughtered like animals.
Nigeria Newspoint urges governments at all levels including security agents to double their efforts at tackling this heinous crime.
Given the prevailing situation, security ought to be further beefed up on the highways.
Vigilance on the part of Citizens is key. The citizens should report suspicious activities to security agencies for action.
Both state and local governments should support communities with whatever it takes to set up effective vigilant groups and even partner with legitimate hunters to comb the forest frequently.
State ministries of transport as a matter of necessity should properly register commercial drivers operating in states including the necessary biometric capturing.
Motor parks should also be well organized to avoid criminals masquerading as bus or commercial drivers from having field day.
Technology such as the deployment of high calibre surveillance drones to scan the forests quite often, needs to be factored in. This will help smoke out these devil’s from their hideouts in the forests.
