🚨 **KIDNAPPERS STRIKE ALONG IRE ROAD — DEMANDING ₦50M RANSOM** 🚨
A fresh wave of fear has hit Edo State as a kidnapping incident reportedly happened along **Ire Road on Saturday**. According to reports, the abductors have already contacted one of the victim’s family members and are demanding **₦50 million** for their release.
This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. How long will innocent people continue to live in fear on our roads?
We are calling on the **Edo State Government**, security agencies, and all relevant authorities to **move fast and intervene immediately** before this situation gets worse.
Edo people deserve safety, not terror.
Our roads must not become hunting grounds for criminals.
**Governor, security chiefs — please act now.**
