Damilola, when she was alive

To reduce the risk of being abducted or kidnapped by strangers in public, it’s important to stay alert and follow some safety precautions. Here are a few strategies:

1. Avoid isolated places.

2. Trust your instincts: If something feels off or someone is acting suspiciously, trust your gut and remove yourself from the situation.

3. Learn self-defense: Basic self-defense techniques can help you escape an attacker in some situations.

4. Keep personal information private: Don’t share too much information with strangers, like where you live or your daily routine.

5. Use the buddy system: Whenever possible, travel with a friend, especially at night or in less safe areas.

6. Have a plan: Before going out, know where you’re going and how to get there. If you’re using public transport, be aware of your route.

7. Be cautious when accepting help: If a stranger offers help, be cautious. If it seems too good to be true, it might be a ploy to lower your defenses.

8. Carry personal safety items: Carry items like pepper spray, a whistle, or a personal alarm. Know how to use them effectively.

9. Stay aware of your surroundings: Always be mindful of who is around you. Avoid distractions like excessive phone use, especially when in unfamiliar or isolated places.

10. Stay calm if approached: If someone suspicious approaches you, stay calm and try to avoid confrontation. Leave the area if possible.
