A journalist with BusinessDay, Ojochenemi Onje, has been reportedly abducted by kidnappers in Abuja, commonly referred to as “one chance operators.”

The incident occurred while Onje was on her way home from work, and the kidnappers have demanded a ransom of N1 million in exchange for her safe release.

One of the sources said the kidnappers had contacted the victim’s workplace to demand the sum of N1million before releasing her from their custody.

“We need your prayers. The BusinessDay correspondent was kidnapped by one-chance operators and they are demanding for one million before they would release her,” one of her colleagues told SaharaReporters.

It was learnt that the incident had been escalated to the Nigerian police and the military, but it is uncertain the steps taken so far by the security agencies on the incident.

Many colleagues are turning in their prayers and wishes for Onje’s rescue and reunion with her family.

“One-chance” is the term Nigerians use to describe a type of robbery that occurs in both public and private cars which people board.

It is a coordinated crime committed by individuals who employ a method of hailing passengers into their waiting vehicle.
