A 52-year old woman abducted by a six-man gang of suspected kidnappers, has been rescued and three of her abductors arrested by the Lagos State Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
The woman was kidnapped along Eleko-Epe expressway on her way to Ajah market in Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial capital.
The three suspects arrested in the rescue operation, were paraded by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police (CP), Kayode Aderanti.
“After much negotiations, they agreed to collect three million Naira,” Mr Aderanti said.
He further revealed that his men were able to capture the suspects, when one of them came to collect the ransom from the victim’s son.
A member of the gang confessed that their leader, Niyi Omosola, fell to the superior fire power of the Police, while the other two members are yet to be arrested.
He also revealed that they were caught at a fourth attempt of kidnapping for ransom.
However, the Lagos State CP warned criminally minded persons that the state would not contain them any longer.
