The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, has said Nigerians want a country that works and what’s best for institutions in the country.
The Lagos PPRO said this on Monday in relation to the kidnapping attempt foiled by officers of the command in Ladipo market.
He also said that no Nigerian hates the country or her institutions, rather they want the best from the country and her institutions.
Hundeyin said the messages of commendation from Nigerians on the command’s exploit in foiling a kidnap showed their love for the country and the Nigeria Police Force.
LagosPost reported that the Lagos Police Command in Ladipo on Thursday, arrested nine kidnappers, while two fled with bullet injuries, who were on a kidnap mission to Ladipo on the same day.
Hundeyin who confirmed the incident said four AK-47 rifles, four locally-made semi-automatic pistols, nine AK47 magazines, three walkie-talkies, one POS machine and a loudspeaker were recovered from them.
Also recovered are their two operational vehicles: one black Toyota 4Runner and a blue Lexus RX350. Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects.
Hundeyin said, “Nigerians do not hate their institutions. They just want the best from them. This I know now more than ever before going by the number of appreciation calls, sms and WhatsApp messages I am still receiving since Friday for the wonderful feat of our men in foiling a kidnap attempt in Ladipo area of Lagos State.
“This is very motivating, highly appreciated and not taken for granted. We LagosPoliceNG promise to continue to do our best for the safety and security of all residents and visitors to Lagos State.”
