• Police commissioner vows to rescue landlords

Suspected militants, who abducted three landlords and their aerobics instructor on Saturday at Isheri, a border community between Lagos and Ogun states, yesterday demanded N1.2 billion ransom for the release of the victims.

The kidnappers were said to have reached other landlords and family members in Lekki Gardens Estate yesterday, demanding N300 million for each of the four men. The victims, mainly landlords from Oshorun Estate, were said to have gone to Lekki Gardens Estate Road, with four others for their daily routine exercise, when the kidnappers, in military camouflage uniforms attacked.
Those kidnapped are identified as Dr. Bello Omololu, Mr. Esang, Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Ayo, the aerobics instructor. On Saturday, suspected militants, who came in a boat through the creek stormed Lekki Gardens Estate and attempted to kidnap eight landlords and their instructor while they were jogging.
They came into the area, shooting. Many of the landlords scampered in different directions. Towards the evening, some of the landlords, who were fortunate to elude the kidnappers, started crawling out from their hideouts.
When head counts were taken yesterday morning, it was discovered that three landlords and their instructor were missing. When our correspondent visited the area yesterday, some family members of the kidnapped landlords were still in shock.https://newtelegraphonline.com/abducted-landlords-kidnappers-demand-n1-2bn/
