Heavily armed gunmen on
Friday evening invaded the
residence of Christianah
Ambode, the mother of Lagos
State governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode, disarming the
octogenarian’s police detail
in an apparent attempt to
abduct her, PREMIUM TIMES
sources said.
The incident occurred at 24
Oguntona Crescent, Gbagada
Estate I, Lagos at
approximately 7:30 p.m.,
neighbours said.
The police officers manning
Mrs. Ambode’s home were
“overpowered and
dispossessed of their
rifles,” sources said.
Mrs. Ambode was, however,
fortunate, as a swift
reinforcement by the state’s
police command thwarted the
ploy of the assailants, who
fled the scene. The back-up
team arrived at 8:10 p.m., the
sources said.
Lagos State Police Command
spokesperson, Dolapo
Badmus, told PREMIUM TIMES
she could not immediately
confirm the attack.
A senior Lagos State
Government official close to
Mr. Ambode told PREMIUM
TIMES a commotion occurred
near Mrs. Ambode’s home.
He, however, denied that it
was a case of attempted
kidnap.
The source said a man went
to invite military personnel
attached to Operation Mesa
to beat Mrs. Ambode’s police
detail after he was ordered
not to park his vehicle
outside the building.
“We heard from the
governor’s security that the
matter was not about
kidnapping,” the source said.
“What happened was that a
man parked his vehicle
outside the home of the
governor’s mother and the
policemen there asked him to
take his vehicle away.”

Businessideas:
That's how all their evil plans to throw Nigeria into turmoil will be failing.
They want to kidnap the elderly woman and now ask for billions in naira or the release of Kanu Nnamdi.
