EditorDaredevil kidnappers have abducted a couple in the Alfa area of Igbogbo in the Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that the couple were allegedly stopped by gunmen who shot sporadically in the air to scare other road users and residents on Thursday night.
According to a resident, Adisa Tobias who lives in the community, “The community was thrown into panic when gunshots rented the air continuously. When the area became a bit calm, we went to investigate what had happened. We only discovered a child in the vehicle while the parents had been taken away. When we tried to ask the child about its parents, it pointed a hand to the bush, saying some people took them away”.
Explaining further, Adisa said the gunmen escaped to the swamp with the couple before the police arrived at the scene and began combing the wood and swamp if they could find the couple.

However, another resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity when Vanguard visited the community, “said he was not sure if the kidnappers made away with the couple through the swamp.
He added that the kidnappers might have come with a vehicle parked at the other end of the road, where they quickly moved the couple in and drove off immediately.
He added that if they had been in the woods, the police, probably, would have captured them, noting it was not long after the incident when the police arrived at the scene.
However, a Celestial Church of Christ member, who has a bathing pool by the side of the water and some residents of Igbe, were arrested by the police.
All efforts to get the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Commander, SP Benjamin Hundeyin to comment on the issue were abortive as calls made to his telephone were unanswered; he also did not respond to text messages sent to his telephone.

EditorAn Islamic cleric, Ahmed Ojo, has reportedly set fire to his wife’s house in the Egbe Odo area of Isua Ijesa in Ekiti State after she refused to join him in observing a late-night prayer
Speaking with The PUNCH, the wife, Bosede Afolabi, disclosed that the incident happened on April 27 when her husband returned home and requested that they observe a prayer around 11 pm on the said date, a request she declined because she was tired.
Afolabi disclosed that her refusal to participate in the prayer angered her husband, who began causing trouble that prompted her to invite neighbours to appease him.
She further stated that all efforts to make her husband understand that she was tired after a stressful day at work proved futile, and when she realised he was becoming violent, she left the house to sleep at a neighbour’s house.

“At about midnight, a girl from our neighbourhood came to knock on the house to inform us that my house was on fire and that it seemed my husband had set the house on fire,” she narrated.
“I and some neighbours rushed to the scene only to see that the whole building had been engulfed in fire. Before we could get help in putting the fire out, the building had been razed.
“He was later caught and handed over to the police.”
She added that she remarried Ojo after her first husband passed away, and she has been accommodating him since they got married.
When asked if there had been recurring misunderstanding between them, Afolabi said they had no misunderstanding before the incident.

She, however, blamed her husband’s action on the influence of alcohol.
“What I observed that night was that he was drunk, which was why I tried to avoid the escalation of the disagreement that ensued on that fateful day. He often comes home drunk sometimes, but we have not had any serious misunderstanding in the past,” Afolabi noted.
She added that the incident had left her in a devastating situation due to the huge loss it had caused her.
“I have not been myself since the incident happened because of the loss it has caused me. I appeal to Nigerians to come to my aid,” she concluded.
The spokesperson for the State Police Command, Sunday Abutu, who confirmed the incident said that the suspect is under investigation.
“The incident happened. The man has been arrested and he is currently undergoing investigation at the state’s CID,” Abutu added.
