According to him, security operatives in those countries are more professional, leading to the safety of their citizens.
Former lawmaker Senator Shehu Sani has praised security agencies in some African countries.
He rated them above Nigerian security agencies.
He wondered why kidnapping and insecurity is not rampant in other countries like Benin Republic, Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
Explaining further, he said the reason is because security agencies of those countries are professional.
He took to X and wrote: “If ransom is not paid to kidnappers, the lives of the hostages are at risk. If ransom is paid to kidnappers, it encourages other kidnappers to abduct more and makes the business of kidnapping more lucrative.
“Families of the victims of kidnappings will do anything to get their loved ones released in the event of the helplessness and hopelessness of the security agencies.
“Why are there no kidnappings for ransom in Benin Republic, Niger, Chad and Cameroon? Because their security agencies are more serious and professional in the execution of their duties”.
