According to the study, one motorist in Niger State listed the Birnin-Gwari and Abuja-Kaduna highway as hotspots for kidnappings and armed robberies.

Another said the highways between Minna and Birnin Kebbi, Kaduna and Kano, and Sokoto and Gusau were the most dangerous.

Another motorist, a Kano State resident, stated he had seen bandits on the Abuja-Kaduna and Lokoja-Okene highways.

According to the study, the Jalingo road in Taraba State, the Keffi-Jos Road in Plateau State, the Keffi-Lafia Road in Nasarawa State, and the Benin-Ore road are all extremely unsafe for travelers.

The Akure-Owo-Akoko, Ondo-Owena, and Yenagoa-Port Harcourt highways are also well-known.

Road accidents are also very common on these roads, in addition to crimes, due to the slow speed or complete lack of maintenance.

According to reports, the poor status of the highways has made it easier for Armed Bandits, terrorists, herdsmen, kidnappers and armed robbers to carry out their criminal activities.
