Dutch Expatriate Drowns In Eleme While Fleeing From Kidnappers

[@atemvictory7734]

Kid napping a foreigner shows how bad and wicked such a country is.

[@unicorngav4768]

If anyone cared to listen to the bike man, you'll hear him say he saw the pickup truck with the occupants talking to a group of men (must have been dressed like policemen). Then suddenly he heard a gunshot and saw the pickup truck suave and drove over the bridge, in an attempt to evade the gunmen. Rather than the Chairman speak directly at the security lapses and growing cases of kidnapping in his community, he was talking about the state of roads..

[@UnusualOscar]

It's crazy how people think

[@bernadetteokonkwo9461]

You are sharp and can decode rightly. The chairman lied.

[@DonaldOYewande]

And we know how kidnappers dresses on our highway too, So what's your point?

[@owolabijoel3136]

Dressing and bad road doesn't match either. His point is clear, while insecurity goes beyond the power of the state though,the state government has a responsibility too.​@@DonaldOYewande

[@oib4463]

Chairman diverting the real issue. One would think he is complicit with the kidnappers/assailant

[@illitrait]

...Mr. Reuben Giesen came all the way from the Netherlands to work with Rivers Cassava Processing Company to provide high-quality cassava products for Nigerians - in other words, he worked to feed us. And this is how we repay him and his family. May God forgive us as He grants Mr. Giesen's family fortitude at this difficult time. We no try sha.

[@matteroffact4484]

This is Purley a security failure. Shame on Nigeria. And some people are blaming it on bad roads, how about blaming it on criminal minded youths. Embarrassing!

This is so sad. May his soul RIP, Amen. And may his loved ones find divine solace IJN. Nigeria is still a good place. Lets not give up hope on ourselves. This is the only country we have so we should never stop looking for enduring solutions to our challenges. It shall come to pass.

[@babatundeidowu7005]

A responsible state government will take up the responsibility of safeguarding the lives of the citizens in the state rather than wait for federal funding at all times. After all, the bridge is in the state for the use of the citizens who reside in the state.

[@JaneRichard-i9b]

Despite the monthly allocation, state government will still wait for federal government to come and fix the issues in their state

[@folasadejubaadeoye797]

Building of roads especially Federal vs state is more complex than that in Nigeria. You don't touch the road that isn't under your jurisdiction.

[@onyejaysalem1698]

This is not a case of bad road, even though we have bad roads.. Why is no one talking about the security situation surrounding this report.. How did the foreigner die alone?.. Where are his security men?.. According to the eyewitness, he said there was an argument or confrontation with a gang and the police, although not clear.. Answers around this are required.. LG Chairman should speak to that..

My condolences to his family and loved ones. May God rest his soul.

U see why I asked Nigerians to protect yourselves

[@OlalekanGbolagade]

The council chairman put blame to the federal government instead of him talking on how to apprehend those culprits. Eleme council chairman is also a kidnapper hold him responsible, Shameless man.

[@chiemekaa]

For a Dutch expatriate to die as a direct result of security/safety lapse in another country is very serious. And instead of the so called Chairman to address this, he's talking about bad road. Who were these people dressed in police apparel? Were they actual police or impostors? And was Mr. Gibson the only occupant of the vehicle when it left the road? As usual it's one confusion after another with conflicting reports. Na wa for this country!

[@emmanueladeyosoye3607]

I agree the Dutch embassy will be involved in this matter not good for international relations

Policing in that state is poor .State where their police are working with kidnappers,My friend was a victim last year the kidnapper called me to pay certain amount of money ,reporting to the police told me to pay them if not all but part of the money.

[@johnsondavid2985]

Blaming this unfortunate incident on bad road is just a big joke! Just imagine rubbish. Now that their victim is dead and gone, they're probably planning another act of wickedness on their next victim. What has this country turned into??! Kidnapping has now become a norm. Oh God, I weep for my country😢

[@ighookpomo7118]

For me the lesson here is even if you are seating in the back seat, use seat belt! Because to me that's one explanation of how he was harmed but the driver and security detail who seat in front were not. He hit his head and passed out and drowned and because it was dark, the other people couldn't see what was happening to him to help. This is just a theory though.

[@leo-it2qj]

[@TheReviewsTV]

Going by the Okada man account the police were complicit in what happened to him not just the road

[@senatoraguolu4773]

What a country indeed. That bridge has claimed lives for decades. It has killed my friends whom were brothers from desame parents driving at night back to the University campus. Killed innocent commuters in a bus that claimed 16 lives that lost control on that bridge. The bridge is too tiny for more than two lanes only. Funny enough some reckless bus drivers try to over take on the entry of that bridge.

[@oloxoice7097]

No statement about his driver or security details. Are they all dead or are they hiding something.

[@cynthiajuwah5849]

Exactly

[@treasureokpo6944]

This is really sad. Why not talk more of the growing insecurity in the country? What about the driver and other passengers?

[@denniskcobi3470]

When there is no jobs creation any thing becomes jobs for the youths and people there is no development going on in Nigeria that will create 12 months pay instead what is in Nigeria election election vote and political parties

[@Silver-l5x]

What's concerns bad roads with security matter Totally different issues, that's how the leaders of this country neglect their duties

[@amaehulegodfrey2840]

I don’t know what to say about Mr. President & David on that Road. Imagine if this Road was in Lagos and this Port Harcourt Refinery was sited in one of the communities within, I tell you Mr. President will order that road to be done within 60 days and it will be done and he will personally come to commission the road and the Refinery because is in Lagos. Let Them continue doing what they are doing they have killed other states in the South South and South East just to make sure Lagos is the only functioning state where Headquarters , ports and Companies will be located.

[@OChem928]

So where were his security details and driver ?

[@LeotheMarriageDoctor]

This is not the first kidnapping attempt on this same bridge, just that to the best of my knowledge this is the first failed attempt... These Kidnappers have found this point as a good point to pick up high profiled citizens, and the Polixe are doing nothing about it. After the first two kidnapping at this point some police personnel were deployed to this point, instead of safeguarding the lives of people as supposed to, they took the avenue to extort minibuses drivers. Nigeria is just in a state of shit, and no one is talking about it. May the souls of the departed RIP 😢
