Lekki-Epe Expressway Nightmare
The Lekki-Epe Expressway has, unfortunately, become a hotspot for criminal activity, including kidnapping. On March 7, 2025, Umezulike Joseph, Eze Theodorah, and Rosemary Ogwulu were the latest victims, snatched in a brazen abduction that sent shockwaves through the community.
Police to the Rescue!
But the Lagos State Police Command wasn’t about to let these criminals get away with it. As soon as the distress call came in, they mobilized. According to intelligence sources speaking with Zagazola Makama, six special tactical squads from the Anti and Counter-Kidnapping Unit were immediately deployed to the area. These aren’t your average officers; these are highly trained specialists ready to face the worst.
Turning Up the Heat
Imagine the pressure! The police teams advanced relentlessly, closing in on the kidnappers. The criminals, realizing they were outmatched and outmaneuvered, had no choice but to cut their losses. They abandoned their captives deep within the forested region bordering the expressway, fleeing to escape the long arm of the law.
Safe and Sound
The rescued victims were understandably shaken. After being recovered by the police, they received immediate medical attention to address their trauma and ensure their well-being. The best news? They have all been safely reunited with their families, a testament to the effectiveness of the police operation.
The Hunt Continues
While the rescue is a major victory, the job isn’t done yet. The Lagos State Police Command has launched a full-scale investigation to track down the fleeing suspects. They are determined to bring these criminals to justice and send a clear message: Lagos will not tolerate kidnapping!
What’s Next?
The police are urging anyone with information about the kidnappers to come forward. Community cooperation is crucial in ensuring the safety and security of everyone in Lagos. The command has promised that the suspects will be caught.
