Nigeria has a reputation as one of the most dangerous places in the world for an expat to work because of the recent wave of abduction events.

The practice of kidnapping, banditry, or abduction has persisted among northern Nigerian bandits and terrorists, Niger Delta insurgents, as well as the ritual murders of the country’s western and eastern regions.

The abduction epidemic in Nigeria is a complex issue with several parties and competing agendas. It is used by rebels, terrorists, and armed groups to raise money for their activities and as a negotiating tactic.

Three types of this illegal conduct are now popular in society. Friends and family members who kidnap themselves for quick money is one example of this group. raiding on-road buses and robbing them of all its passengers falls under a different category, as do raiding villages and holding defenseless people hostage.
