Three individuals traveling by boat have been abducted by gunmen in Lagos.
The trio was reportedly taken while navigating near Falomo Bridge from Apapa in Lagos.
Although the identities of the abducted victims have not been confirmed, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin stated that the command’s marine unit received a report of three people being kidnapped on the water.
“We also got the report and we have started looking into it. Our marine department got that report.
“It was reported to them that three people were kidnapped. Their boat was found somewhere in Ikorodu and we have started looking into that,” Hundeyin said when contacted by Channels Television.
According to him, the police received the report like everyone else but have already initiated an investigation to determine what happened, where it occurred, and how it unfolded.
He added that after gathering sufficient intelligence, the command will utilize its full resources to rescue the victims unharmed and bring the perpetrators to justice.
