Robbers threatened to execute us –Sun DMD’s neighbours

• Toyin’s abduction unfortunate, says Kalu

Gunmen who kidnapped wife of The Sun newspapers’ Deputy Managing Director, stormed the area in military camouflage, say residents

The residents of Baale Street, Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos State, where Toyin, the wife of The Sun newspapers’ Deputy Managing Director, Mr Steve Nwosu, was kidnapped, have relived the horror of their encounter with the gunmen. 

This came as the publisher of The Sun and New Telegraph titles, Dr Orji Kalu, described Toyin’s abduction as evil.
The residents said the robbers marched them out of their rooms and threatened to summarily execute them because there was no money in their homes. The residents said the robbers operated for more than two hours without disturbance from local vigilantes.
One of the residents recalled that the seven robbers were dressed in military camouflage. He said: “The robbers paraded 10 of us in front of our building and threatened to kill us because they did not find money to steal.” 
Some of the residents said that it was due to God’s intervention and the alarm raised by a resident living farther down the street that saved their lives. 
Another resident said: “My husband came outside to urinate and saw some men dressed in military camouflage. He thought they were soldiers, but they were not! They took my husband to our compound and asked for money.
I said I had only N2,000; that was why they asked everybody in the compound to come outside.
 “They ordered us to lay facedown and marched on our heads, legs and bodies with their boots. They said they would shoot us; that was when a neighbour who overheard them from a distance shouted, thieves! thieves!
