Suspected Kidnapper nearly Lynched in Lagos

A suspected kidnapper was, last weekend, apprehended at Iyana Iba market in Lagos for allegedly kidnapping three children. The suspect allegedly took the children, aged four, six and seven years, on the pretext that he wanted to buy biscuits for them.

Speaking to Vanguard, the mother of the children, Mrs. Iyabo Lawal, said:

“I was in the shop when the man passed the first time, I didn’t know he was monitoring my kids who were playing with my mother in her shop.
