Lagos State suburb city of Festac Town has become the
den of kidnappers in Lagos..According to an investigation carried out by CKN Nigeria
crew based on a Save Our Souls appeal sent to us by residents of the area. An
average of four people are being kidnapped weekly for a ransom at Festac Town.
People were
either kidnapped while going to work, jogging, walking or returning from work. Some
get kidnapped within their offices, business places etc. Large sums of money
are forcefully obtained from their families depending on the status of the
person kidnapped. Some runs into millions of Naira.Most of the residents out of
fear don’t even go to the police for assistance since the police seem helpless
on their own.
Some residents
believe that law enforcement agents may even be conniving with the criminals
since nothing is been done by them to stop the crime.
The residents are appealing to the Lagos State Government,
State Commissioner of Police and other law enforcement agencies to come their
rescue.
When next you are in Festac town, be on your guard.
