Advisory


This is a wake-up call to security agencies in Lagos and other neighbouring States to be at alert. Highways should be safeguarded to avoid the infiltration of criminals into the State. Security operatives need to be at the top of their games to arrest the kidnappers who are already in Lagos.


On the part of the residents, they should be alert and raise an alarm once a suspicious activity or person is spotted in their areas.
