*Urgent Call for Enhanced Security Measures for Bolt Drivers in Calabar*
The recent spate of killings and kidnappings targeting Bolt drivers in Calabar has sent shockwaves through communities reliant on ride-sharing services.
These heinous acts not only jeopardize the safety of drivers but also erode public trust in these convenient services.
The motives behind these attacks remain murky, ranging from robbery to more sinister intentions.
Most recently is the attack by unknown men on a bolt driver on Wednesday, December 13 2023 along Goldie street, Calabar South, Cross River State.
After several attempts by the unknown men to kidnap and cart away with his car, they succeeded in making him unconscious, while fleeing with his car key and other valuables.
It was also reported that last week a bolt driver was killed around Unical by unknown men. For how long will these wicked acts on bolt drivers continue? Is it now a crime to serve the general public through convenient car services?
The general public are also urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
In the face of these challenges, a collective effort is essential. Government agencies, ride-sharing companies, and the public must collaborate to address this alarming trend.
Only through a comprehensive approach to safety can we hope to restore confidence in ride-sharing services and protect the lives of those who contribute to the convenience of modern urban transportation.
