The Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has warned Nigerians to cease waiting for free rides in the midst of the country’s increasing abduction spree.

Adejobi encouraged people to use authorized bus parks and registered cars in a video that was uploaded on his official X account.
Additionally, before accepting to start the ride, the police chief cautioned users of e-hailing platforms to make sure the car they reserved online is the one that has arrived to pick them up.

Adejobi, in the video said, “If you want to board any vehicle anywhere, make sure this vehicles are registered vehicles, these vehicles are actually marked for commercial purposes. All states and our communities have designated parks and garages, let us patronize these parks and garages, don’t wait for free rides, patronize those known certified commercial vehicles for movement and for commercial purposes.

“If you do most of these bolt or Uber whatever make sure you confirm the number on your application, the one you have booked for online is the real vehicle that have come to pick you, these are simple things we need to take note of so that we will not fall victims of these criminal elements.

“One chance is real and you can see we have been working hard to make sure we tackle this problem of one chance. Please patronize marked registered commercial vehicles and of course government approved parks and garages in the FCT and other cities across the country.”
