The Lagos State Police Command has said nine members of a notorious kidnapping gang who had plotted to abduct some wealthy persons in the state were killed during its operation at Ladipo.

A source had told City Round that some shootings took place at Oloje Street, Papa Ajao, area of Mushin, on Thursday night which they thought was cult-related.

The source said, “There was pandemonium in our area when we heard some shootings at the Papa Ajao area yesterday night, and it was a shoot-out. We thought it was cult activity in the area that seemed to be engaging the police in a shoot-out. We heard six of these criminals were dropped.”

However, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement issued on Friday, disclosed that the command had received an intelligence report about the plan of the dangerous gang to attack some residents of the area two weeks ago.
