Family of five escape kidnap
attempt in Lagos
The Lagos State Police Command foiled a kidnap
attempt on a family of five last weekend. Nine
gunmen arrived the Ijon community in Ayobo Ipaja
in a speed boat and stormed the home of one
Oluseun Oguyemi, and attempted to kidnap the
man, his wife and three children.
According to Daily Trust, the kidnap attempt was
foiled by the police and the suspects subsequently
arrested.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai
Owoseni, who visited the community on Monday,
July 3, said the police engaged the kidnappers in
a gun battle and rescued the wife and children
after the husband escaped.
"The kidnappers came in a boat but as they
were escaping with their victims the police
engaged them in a gun duel for close to
four hours and the kidnappers were
subdued by the police," Owoseni said.
