Criminal acts are very many and rampant in our society nowadays. These are nature involving crime and it ranges from stealing, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape of innocent young girls, etc.
Crime rate is on the high in my area, i stay around campus area so i know what I'm saying. Recently, we heard that a house very close to my house was broken into and all the valuable items there were stolen such as plasma TV, gas cylinder, deep freezer and so on.
In my area when it is 9:00pm everyone must be in his/her house because anything above that something else can happen. There was a guy coming back from the campus around 10:00pm on a particular day and two guys approached him from nowhere and asked him to bring his phone but he tried to questioned them that who are they, before he knew what is happening one of the guys brought out a short axe and try to cut off his head from behind but God saved him, because he dodged it and immediately he handed his phone to them and those guys walked away.
This morning a news came in that some people were traveling from Calabar to sokoto on Tuesday and their bus was hijacked by kidnappers and their driver was killed instantly, up till now only three out of thirty people were found and the rest were yet to be found.
In my area recently, two guys were arrested because they tried to rape a lady at night when the lady was returning from work, right now they are still at the police custody. There was another story of a man that was caught while rapping a twelve years old girl, he was also arrested by the policemen and he's currently at the police station awaiting trial.
There was a particular time the armed robbers wrote a letter to my community that we should be expecting them on a particular date, this shows the high rate of crime in my area during those period the whole community was in chaos for almost a week all of us were doing night watch and we couldn't sleep, but thank God they didn't show up eventually.
Right now in my area the way thieves are operating is very alarming, early in the morning when people are going to market or their working place if they are not careful with the way they handle their handbags it can be snatched away from them. A woman shared her experience that last week as she was going to the market early in the morning, another woman walked past her and suddenly a bike man on a speed snatched the woman's handbag and the woman was shouting thief....thief but it's too late as the bike man run away on a high speed, she said all the money the woman was taking to the market was inside the handbag along with her cellphone.
In my area, if you are walking on the road most especially at night you must be looking at your back to be sure that nobody is following you, because of the high rate of crime in my vicinity.
Thanks for reading my post....
