Major General Adamu Garba Laka, the National Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), has launched a toll-free emergency hotline (112) to tackle the rising incidence of kidnappings in Nigeria. This initiative aims to empower citizens to report abductions and security threats quickly.
The move responds to the alarming trend of ransom-driven kidnappings across various regions. Major General Laka stressed the importance of community involvement in ensuring safety. Timely reporting can significantly aid law enforcement efforts.
The hotline will connect individuals directly with security agencies, allowing swift action during crises. Laka encouraged all Nigerians to use this resource, emphasizing that collective vigilance is crucial in the fight against insecurity.
As the government intensifies its efforts to combat kidnapping, this hotline represents a proactive step toward enhancing public safety and restoring confidence in security operations across Nigeria.
