The security situation in Abuja has reached alarming heights. If it’s not a car theft, its kidnapping or the most rampant of all, ‘One chance robbery’. This particular evil has grown to epidemic proportions in Abuja. There are certain black spots where these robberies take place in Abuja such as the Kubwa Expressway, AYA Roundabout, Area One, Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway and Gwagwalada.

Abuja has become a place where you develop anxiety and panic attacks whenever you’re about to step out of your house.
