A corps member has cried out on social media following the heartbreaking kidnapping of his mother in Kogi state while she was travelling by road to Abuja. The young man raised an alarm online, pleading for help and drawing national attention to the worsening security situation along the route.
Mother Allegedly Taken from Bus in Kabba
The distraught son, known on X as @dope_demonxx, revealed that his mother had boarded a commercial vehicle headed toward Abuja when the attack occurred in the Kabba area. According to him, everything seemed normal until their communication abruptly ended shortly after she informed him that she had reached the Kabba axis. Moments later, panic set in as her phone went unreachable.
Corper Cries Out as Bandits Strike
The corps member has cried out again in subsequent posts, sharing that the bus his mother was in was ambushed by armed men. His growing fear intensified when he discovered that several passengers were taken away in the incident. The news shook many Nigerians online, especially after more information emerged showing that the attack was not an isolated case.
Viral Clips Show Abducted Passengers
Shortly before his cry for help went viral, another X user, @abujastreets, posted worrying video clips from the same scene dated November 27, 2025. The videos reportedly showed passengers being forcefully taken from a commercial bus during broad daylight. The captions accompanying the footage expressed deep frustration with the rising wave of insecurity in the region, stating: “Apparently everyone on this bus was kidnapped earlier today in Kabba, Kogi state. Broad daylight bro… We are tired!!!”
The clips quickly attracted thousands of reactions, with viewers expressing disbelief and fear over the boldness of the criminals operating on major road networks.
Son Shares More Details as Panic Grows
The corps member has cried out repeatedly as the situation escalated. He confirmed that families began receiving ransom calls from the kidnappers only hours after the incident. According to him, negotiations had already started but were far from smooth.
Sharing his frustrations, he wrote: “Nigeria don finally happen to me. Bandits don kidnap my mom. Haaa where do I start from?” See the post below.
In another update, he revealed the staggering ransom demand, stating: “The issue still stands on 60 million. We’re trying to negotiate with them, but the number they provided is off for now till evening before we try it again. They call each family that was kidnapped randomly with different amounts. We’re in so much pain. Many children are with them 💔.”
He later added more context in the comments under his post, explaining that: “She was going to Abuja today. The last we heard from her, she said she was in Kabba.”
Public Reactions and Prayers for Safety
His posts immediately attracted widespread sympathy as Nigerians rallied around him emotionally. Many users responded with prayers for his mother’s safe return and expressed concern for all the passengers who were abducted. Others used the opportunity to call for stronger government intervention, insisting that kidnappings in Kogi and nearby regions have become far too common and require urgent attention.
Several commenters lamented the increasing danger associated with road travel across the country, noting that incidents like this have pushed many citizens into constant fear whenever they journey between states.
Calls for Government Action Intensify
As the story continues to spread, more voices are demanding immediate steps from security agencies to secure the release of the victims and restore safety along major highways. The repeated cry of the corps member has highlighted not only his family’s anguish but also the broader insecurity affecting countless Nigerians.
