Armed men suspected to be kidnappers have abducted four Lebanese including the Managing Director of Fouani Company, a prominent representative of LG and Hisense, demanding $1.5million Ransome.
Credible sources told Towncriernews that the victims were travelling by boat from Apapa to Victoria Island when they were ambushed near Falomo Bridge.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation is ongoing.
“Yes, we received the report and are investigating it. We are currently working with their families and the Lebanese community to get them released,” Hundeyin explained.
However, the abduction has sparked outrage in the business community, with many calling for increased security measures to protect citizens.
The incident raises concerns about the safety of Lagos’ Waterways as alternative means of transport and the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in combating crime.
