Abuja one chance menace: How criminals exploit a transportation gap to kill, steal, destroy

The article reports on a growing criminal activity in Abuja, Nigeria, where organized groups exploit the transportation gap to commit violent crimes against commuters. These criminals pose as legitimate commercial drivers, luring passengers with the promise of safe travel, but instead trap them in vehicles used for extortion, rape, and even murder. Victims, particularly women, face severe threats including sexual assault and organ harvesting. The attacks have intensified recently, leading to multiple fatalities and widespread fear among residents. Despite ongoing police efforts, the issue remains unaddressed, with authorities disputing the severity of the problem.
