In a harrowing incident that unfolded on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, a groom and his family members were abducted while en route to Kogi State for the much-anticipated wedding. The shocking revelation was made by a family member of the bride, Serah Ibrahim, who took to social media to share the distressing news.

Expressing her dismay, Serah Ibrahim recounted the ordeal, stating that the kidnappers had brazenly demanded a staggering N250 million ransom for the safe release of the captives. Her social media post reflected not only the gravity of the situation but also a poignant commentary on the state of security in Nigeria, particularly during the festive season.

The plea for assistance and accountability was evident in Serah's message: "Thank you Nigeria for the amazing security you’re providing for your citizens. Merry Christmas."

The entire episode sheds light on the pressing need for enhanced security measures and a comprehensive approach to addressing the rising incidents of kidnappings in the country. The aftermath of the incident left a bitter aftertaste, as Serah concluded her update with a scathing remark: "Nigeria is such a disgraceful country. A big shame." This sentiment reflects the frustration and disillusionment felt by citizens in the face of security challenges, calling for urgent attention and remedial actions from the authorities.
