dc.description.sponsorship	The issue of kidnapping is currently ravaging Africa with Nigeria at the center stage, having been on the increase even amid the pandemics. From the North to the East, Southwest to South- South, Niger Delta to the middle-belt, kidnapping as an act in Nigeria has become so troubling, while the international communities are also not spared as confirmed by News and data. Tackling the issue in Nigeria has been a difficult task as oil workers, government officials, high profile individuals all are being kidnapped on daily basis. Many researchers have designed several techniques to monitor and detect cases of planned and targeted human hijacks and kidnapping acts but it appears the proposed complex systems or network of gadgets makes it difficult for a wide-range rollout. Also, concealment and ease of dispossession have been major problems. The main discussions around how do we provide a way to monitor, alert and trace the incidence of kidnapping, using live, accurate, and timely data analysis, how do we gather the required data and how do we deduce information from the collected data remained answered with bogus internetworked systems of heavy and very expensive equipment. This research presents the implementation of an Internet of Things Platform for Combating Human Kidnapping using a geofencing technique, reactive codes, developed mobile application with numerous application layer interfaces such as google messaging service and navigation system. The proposed geo-fence-based system for the prevention of human kidnapping consists of a frontend and a backend. The front end comprises two smartphone devices in which one serves as the Subject while the other serves as the Tracker. The transmitted location signal of the smartphone device which is assumed to be in the possession of the Subject is the key data that is manipulated, analyzed, and used to make decisions. The proposed system adopts the trilateration mathematical formula used by the global positioning system (GPS) to determine the user’s position. The system was evaluated and comparatively analyzed using the obtained data on positioning accuracy, route patterns, and geofence boundary exit notifications. Analysis of the result from the implementation and evaluation confirms the adequacy, competency and practicality of the new solution to combat human-kidnapping.	en_US
