Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Mike Ozekhome Kidnapped

Gunmen have kidnapped a prominent Lagos-based lawyer and social critic Mike Ozekhome a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in southern Nigeria in an apparent ransom bid, police said Saturday.
National police spokesman Frank Mba said a manhunt had been launched for the kidnappers.
"Police are on the trail of the gunmen and we will do everything humanly and operationally possible to ensure that the learned lawyer is released unharm," Mba said.
Kidnapping for ransom, which was rife in the soulthern oil-producing Niger Delta before a 2009 amnesty deal for oil militants, has spread to other parts of the country in recent months with prominent Nigerians and their relations becoming targets.
How do you think this menace can be checked?

    This is serious. It has gotten out of hand and we should report suspicious members of our society to the police for investigation.
