Nigeria: Vandals turn the fire on women
September 16 2015 By Abi Giwa
Nigerian women who are watching development in the country are worried, because kidnappings and abductions have become democratic dividends they are receiving from recent political change. First, it was Donu Kogbara, a versatile columnist on the Vanguard newspapers.
Now, it is Toyin Nwosu, the wife of Frank Nwosu, deputy managing director of the Sun newspapers, who has been abducted after the release of Kogbara by her abductors.
Wait, does the equation looks like both women abducted in the last two weeks are both from the media family? Is this coincidental or that the media is under attack? These are some of the questions for which no one has provided an answer.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Nwosu is running to three days away from home, following her abduction, commando style, in the presence of her husband and children. In his revelation father his wife's abduction, Toyin's husband spoke about AK-47 and pistols, as some of the ammunitions the abductors used in their operation.
After they blind-folded the husband, the abductors whisked their captive away into a waiting boat near her home, and made away with her before the arrival of the police on the scene. Consequently, a husband has been without his wife and his children have been without their mother for two days, and they are uncertain of her fate.
Mr. Nwosu and her children would be praying that this experience turns out to be like that of Kogbara, who returned home safe and told a happy and sad story at the same time - about her experience in the hand a of her abductors - who she said referred to politicians as 'political hoodlums'.
