Kidnappers have freed a 41-year-old housewife, Mrs. Ronke Solaja, who was abducted last Thursday from her home at Oshin Tek Estate, Ojuoro, Owutu, Ikorodu area of Lagos State. A source said Solaja was freed about 7.30 p.m. on Sunday on Isawolo- Ajegunle axis.

The woman was abducted by four armed men while watching film with her children in her living room. Although no specific amount paid the kidnappers was disclosed, the abductors had asked for N30 million, while the family as at Sunday afternoon was pleading to pay N120,000. It was learnt that the amount had angered the abductors who threatened to kill Solaja.

Meanwhile, residents have pleaded with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State to help them dredge water channel from Majidun creek down to Asolo. “We need the waterway dredged such that Navy and Marine Police can patrol. They only stop at Majidun, because of lack of access to the rest of the canal owing to blockage. We shall march to the Governor’s Office tomorrow to make the request,” a resident said.
