The Intelligence Response Team (IRT) has captured a three-man kidnapping team who were demanding N500 million ransom after abducting a girl in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
Working with the DPO of Ogombo police station, Mr. Amubieya John, the new IRT commander, DCP Tunji Disu was able to track and capture the suspected kidnappers.
In a video that was shared online, the suspected kidnappers could be seen handcuffed and were being paraded.
An individual who made the video could be heard in the background saying, ”Can you see them, they asked for N500 million, those bastard people.”
Replying to a plea one of the suspected kidnappers made about the handcuff being too tight, the individual said: ”Why are you begging, you’re begging for what exactly? It is what you like to eat that will result in your death.”
Earlier this year, there were reports on social media that kidnappers had taken over the Admiralty Way in Lekki, Ozumba Mbadiwe Way, Lekki/Ikoyi Link Bridge, and some parts of the Lekki community in Lagos.
Releasing an official statement that included some helpful tips, the Lekki Estates Residents and Stakeholders Association had alerted residents of the area to be vigilant as they go about their lawful activities.
