In a chilling social media post that has sparked widespread concern, popular human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu has sounded the alarm over Nigeria’s worsening security situation, warning citizens that “rescue is impossible” if they ever fall victim to kidnapping.
Gwamnishu, known for his fearless advocacy for justice and victims of abuse, took to social media to express frustration over what he described as the government’s selective use of tracking technology.
“Pray you don’t get kidnapped. When it happens, rescue is impossible,” he wrote. “Nigeria’s tracking system is only meant for those that criticize government. I have seen a lot and it’s discouraging.”
The activist’s statement has since ignited heated conversations online, with many Nigerians echoing his sentiments about the country’s deteriorating security architecture and lack of faith in the system’s ability to protect its citizens.
Gwamnishu’s remarks reflect growing public frustration with the spate of kidnappings across Nigeria and the perceived inaction of authorities in tackling the crisis. His comment about the nation’s tracking system a reference to the tools used by security agencies to locate victims or trace criminals underscores fears that these resources are being misused for political purposes rather than public safety.
Over the years, Gwamnishu has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most vocal defenders of human rights, often intervening in high-profile cases involving injustice, abuse, and corruption. His latest outburst highlights the increasing sense of helplessness felt by many Nigerians who believe the system has failed them.
As insecurity continues to rise and confidence in law enforcement wanes, Gwamnishu’s warning serves as a grim reminder of a nation where, for many, survival now depends more on prayer than protection.
