However, the rising insecurity have been a cause for concern among many across the country.

Amid this concern, Waka Now introduced services from Lagos to South Eastern State, announcing that travellers will be charged N320,000.

According to the agency, the money covers transportation in a Toyota Hilux vehicle, a driver and two mobile police officers as escort.

It also offered N260,000 per day for travel within the South East, and the package includes commuting in a Toyota Hilux vehicle, with a driver and two police escorts. (Daily Trust)
