There is a security alert in Lagos State following the abduction of six residents within 24 hours.
Lagos Island and the upper class neighbourhoods have witnessed upgraded security measures where most of the victims were kidnapped.
But beyond the neighbourhoods of wealthy residents of the State, there is a general sense of apprehension among residents after a security company – Eons Intelligence – released another advisory asking the residents to look out for the red flags in their daily interactions.
The advisory specifically asked residents to rely more on technology in finding their ways round town than seeking help from anyone, who might turn out to be kidnappers on the prowl.
The advisory has gone viral, although the state police command is sounding reassuring.
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has directed the special intelligence team attached to his office to commence immediate collaboration with the state command for the rescue of those still in captivity of the kidnappers.
