The Lagos State Council of the Nigeria Union of
Journalists has strongly condemned the abduction of
Toyin Nwosu, the wife of the Deputy Managing Director
of The Sun Newspapers, Mr. Steve Nwosu. It has
therefore called for her immediate and unconditional
release.

Mrs. Nwosu was abducted in the early hours of
Monday when kidnappers stormed the residence of the
Nwosus in Lagos and performed their dastardly act.

The Council, in a statement by its chairman, Deji
Elumoye and Secretary, Bimbo Oyetunde, wondered
why journalists have suddenly become the targets of
kidnap, recalling that it was just last weekend that Mrs.
Donu Kogbara, a columnist with Vanguard Newspapers
was released by her abductors in Port Harcourt after
spending one-week in captivity.

“We condemn this dastardly act and we appeal to the
kidnappers to please free harmless Mrs. Nwosu
immediately and unconditionally,” the statement.

Lagos NUJ also called on the Inspector General of
Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, and his team to live up to
their billing in securing the lives of the citizenry while
appealing to the Lagos State government not to relent
in its effort at ensuring safety of the people and their
property.

Kidnapping is one national security problem that is grossly underrated.
