In the wake of the increased rate of kidnappings across the country, some Nigerians have taken to Twitter to reveal the new styles kidnappers have abducted.
In a post made by a user on the platform, a man was invited to Port Harcourt for a presentation all the way from Lagos and was kidnapped by the people who invited him.
According to the narrator, the abductors were even responsible for his flight ticket down to Lagos, and still went ahead to hold him up for ransom.
He wrote:
