Police bust new kidnappers hideout in Ikorodu
In continuation of its onslaught on
militants operating from the creeks, Lagos State Police Command early
this morning raided and recovered seven army and police bullet proof
vests, eight ballistic helmets and nine life jackets from a new
kidnappers hideouts in Ishawo, Ikorodu, Lagos.
The hideout was discovered at about
8:00 a.m yesterday by a team of Ikorodu Special Anti – Robber Squad
(SARS) and Volunteer Police led by Superintendent Godfrey Soriweiu.
This success came two weeks after the discovery of a similar hideout in Ishawo, Ikorodu, Lagos.
The Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, CP Fatai Owoseni had two weeks ago charged the team to embark on
a continuous combing of the Lagos waterways and creeks in search of
suspected kidnappers.
The suspected kidnappers, who were
preparing their morning meal scampered into safety on sighting the
special team abandoning several items.
Other item recovered by the team includes a speed boat belonging to the suspected kidnappers.
The team thereafter destroyed the hideout before moving the recovered items out of the location.
While the team is continuing with
its operation, Owoseni charged the team to redouble its efforts in
ensuring that Lagos creeks are free of kidnappers.
In another development, seven (7)
suspected militants arrested by the Military in Ondo were handed over to
the Lagos State Police Command also yesterday.
The suspects are members of the late notorious militant (Ossy) gang.
