Ogah said people are kidnapped almost every day in his constituency to the extent that abductors now go to people’s homes to carry them for ransom sums of N50,000 and N30,000.

The lawmaker who addressed journalists on the heels of the passage of a motion he moved on the floor of the House on Thursday at plenary, said;

“Kidnapping is becoming like akara business. People are kidnapped almost every day. Not one, two or three.

“It is now a serious issue for me to move it on the floor of the House so that Nigerians will hear. As I speak, a lot of villagers have fled their homes, even our mothers don’t go to farms anymore.”
