When contacted, however, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident.

“Our anti-kidnapping squad is already after them. We are combing the forest and we know that they will all be arrested.

“Ogun State is not a ground for criminals to settle. It is either they leave or we smoke them out of this state,” Oyeyemi said.

Lol

They may need his service in their camp

this government is behind all these banditry and kidnapping and unknown gun men. before election, they stop every form activities but immediately after election, they continued with full force. and your bat promised to continue from where bubu stop. he won't be sworn in

Hmmm.... Lagos is becoming terrifying with horrible news every single day.

God help us.

Stupid gunmen attack and abduct someone that earns less than 500k per year, so what do they expect him? To pay with his life or what?

We all know our common enemies and instead of attacking them we pick up a faction and end up an enemy of one another

We Need Seen More than Election

This could be a relationship matter or for rituals..
