“The former Vice Chairman, Lagos Mainland branch of the NURTW, was reportedly shot dead at the back of his house by the assailants while parking his car around 8pm on Tuesday.”
Time and time again we are shown that the stats are true – “most attacks occur in or near the principal’s vehicle, and they occur mostly near the home, office or hotel – just where complacency is most likely to set in.”
This is based on the 1983 kidnapping of Mr. Heineken in which the assailants planned the mission for as long as two years and had made several attempts prior to being successfull.

In today’s world, we have more capabilities and efficiencies than ever before. Everyone has a smartphone with internet, email, a hi-def camera and many more features.

We don’t teach stick up disarms, we leave that to the pro’s like Master Ken here…let us know what you think!
