One of the four landlords kidnapped by gunmen in the Isheri North area of Lagos State has escaped from the kidnappers’ den. It was very risky, but he didn't mind until
he returned to his home.
The victim, who returned home Tuesday evening, however, refused to tell any of his relatives his ordeal, Punch reports.
The kidnappers subsequently placed N1.2bn ransom on the victims.
A source was quoted as saying that one of the men escaped on Tuesday.
“He escaped from their midst because no ransom was paid. He is scared and has kept to himself. The police have maintained visible presence in the community, but it is not certain they know where the kidnappers are.”
He said, “A large amount of money was paid by his family for his release; he didn’t escape. He was released at about 5am.”
Meanwhile the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer, SP Muyiwa Adejobi, said the command is yet to confirmed the development.
