The Police in Lagos and Ogun states are said to be on the trail of 10 gunmen who kidnapped three female students from Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School, Ikorodu, Lagos on Monday afternoon.
Three Rapid Response Squad helicopters were said to have carried out surveillance of the creeks and neighboring bushes for a possible location of the hoodlums and their hostages on Tuesday.
The Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone Two, Bala Hassan, said the Ogun State Police Command has secured all routes leading into and outside the state.
He also added that security forces were closing-in on the criminals.
“The police and other security agencies have not slept since this thing happened last night. The Lagos State Police Commissioner (Fatai Owoseni), his deputy and also the Commanders of sister agencies all slept here.”
“We are here to assure the parents that security forces are doing everything possible to ensure the girls are rescued and returned unhurt. We are also assuring that the ongoing operation in this area shall continue.”
“The police already have a clue that could lead to the kidnappers: one of the gangster was identified as a bricklayer working in the school.”
