Kidnappers who disguised as journalists were on Monday apprehended at the Igbogbo-Baiyeku Secretariat after an attempt to kidnap the Chairman, Comrade Olusesan Daini.
According to a report by Shakiru Seidu of Igbogbo-Baiyeku Info Magazine, two men identified as Mr Olaolu Owoeye and Mr Mr Gbenga stormed the secretariat premises posing as officials of Lagos Television (LTV).
After carrying out interviews with two new councillors which was later discovered to be false, they found their way to the Chairman’s office and tried to whisk him away. They were however apprehended before leaving the secretariat premises.
In a chat with Igbogbo-Baiyeku Info Magazine, Com Daini revealed that the two men approached him posing to be journalists with LTV but he became suspicious when they requested to go have an interview at Ibeshe, stating that they came in respect of the recent attack carried out by Badoo group.
The two journalists’ motive was however known when the Chairman reached out to the security agents in the secretariat who immediately seized them and discovered that they had criminal intentions.
As this was happening, the residents have gathered at the entrance of the secretariat soon attempted to lynch the culprits but the intervention of the Chairman who preached against jungle justice and handed the culprits to the Police.
As at the time of filing this report, the two fake journalists are cooling off in Police cell.
