Singer Ruger Laments Rising Cases of Kidnapping in Nigeria

Nigerian artist Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger has taken to X to cry out over the increase in kidnapping in the country.

In a post on X, he stated that people coming to Nigeria from other parts of the world can become victims because the criminals believe they have a lot of money.

“I’m scared for people this December. Kidnapping has become a full time business in some parts of Nigeria. And it’s only gonna get worse this festive season. People will travel back to their villages from abroad and from many other places in Nigeria. These bastards will strike hard,” he wrote.
