The lawmaker representing Delta North Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko, has urged security agencies to ensure that culprits who stage kidnappings face the full weight of the law.
Speaking via a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, he condemned the growing trend of staged kidnapping.
He asserted that cracking down on the culprits would deter others from carrying out the act and clearly show that such deceit has no place in Nigerian society.
According to him, he recently received a distress call from a parent whose son was said to have been kidnapped, with a viral video showing him in the forest of Aniocha North.
“I immediately mobilised the police and local vigilantes for rescue, only for investigations to reveal that the young man staged his kidnapping.
“This is a reckless and criminal act, alien to the values of our people in Delta North, and it must not be allowed to take root.
“Staged kidnappings traumatise families, waste vital security resources, erode public trust, and trivialise the suffering of genuine victims.
“I therefore urge security agencies to ensure the culprits face the full weight of the law, to send a clear message that such deceit has no place in our society.”
He said that as senator representing Delta North, he remained committed to safeguarding communities in the constituency, supporting security agencies, and ensuring peace and trust prevail among the people.
