Fear Grips Edo: Israel DMW Begs FG To End Rising Wave Of Abductions

According to Ireporter Online, Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, has raised an urgent call for government intervention over the alarming rise in kidnapping incidents across Edo State.

The popular aide took to his Instagram page to share a distressing video showing a young woman who had reportedly been abducted by gunmen. In the footage, the visibly terrified victim could be seen tearfully pleading for help as her captors demanded ransom.

Israel lamented the deteriorating security situation in the state, expressing concern that residents now live in constant fear as criminal gangs allegedly operate freely on highways and in rural areas. He urged the Federal Government to take immediate and decisive action to restore safety and public confidence.

“This is becoming too much. The Federal Government should please come to our aid in Edo State,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, in a separate development, six passengers — including three officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) — were abducted on Tuesday along the Aloma axis of Kogi State.

The victims, identified as Chinenye Orji, Adamaka Anih, and Catherine Temaugee, were reportedly on official duty to Anambra State ahead of the November 8 governorship election when the incident occurred.

Reliable sources disclosed that the INEC staff were deployed to produce voters’ registers and other sensitive election materials before their convoy was ambushed by suspected kidnappers.
