Woman Cries Out for Help as Her 50 Year Old Mom is Abducted in Lagos
The daughter of a 50-year-old Nigerian Customs official, has narrated how her mother was kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Festac Town area of Lagos.
Information gathered revealed that the unmasked gunmen ordered the children not to shout, threatening to shoot them dead if they did, as they made away with their mother in her black Murano Jeep.
”My mum came to visit us. We were in her Jeep, playing with her. She had spent about 20 minutes with us and was preparing to leave. As I hugged her goodbye, and my sister stepped out of her vehicle, two guys walked up to her and took control of the car. As I was about to shout, one of them put a gun to my abdomen and said if I shouted he would kill me.
I suddenly heard a gunshot, and before I knew it, they had zoomed off with her. They wore black clothes. They didn’t say anything to us except when they threatened me. They were two in number.”
Narrating how the incident happened on Twitter yesterday,
“We were at TFC at 22 road, FESTAC outside in the car and two men came around. My sister ran out of the car. My mother was still screaming and struggling when the other one pointed a gun at me. We ran away and by the time we looked back as we were screaming for help, they zoomed off with her insides.
This is the plate number of the black Murano jeep EPE103CY. God please don’t let my enemies laugh at me. She is everything to us. They were two men and they were not wearing mask. I saw them at close range but I won’t be able to recognize them. I don’t know if anyone has any grudge against my mum.
But I am appealing to them to please free her. Already, we have notified the police at Area E but nothing has been done so far to the best of our knowledge. However, we have not been contacted by the kidnappers.”
The woman’s daughter is pleading with kidnappers to release their mother. The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, adding that investigations were ongoing.
