A journalist with the Nigeria Police Force, Malik Nasir, has revealed his terrifying experience after embarking a mission in search of kidnappers in Lagos creeks. Read what he shared on his Facebook page below;

Sometime in February 2017, one Rapid Response Squad patrol team was attacked in Igbo Nla in Epe. I had followed a back-up team in response to the distress calls. It was one of the swiftest journeys I have ever embarked upon with the patrol team of RRS officers.

With the team, led by its fearless RRS Commander, ACP Olatunji Disu, taking the lead and combing forest after forest to rescue kidnapped victims, it was a very scary operation. I was the only civilian among the team of about 20 men.

Yesterday, it was yet another scary adventure. We had more civilians on a boat ride to the Island of kidnappers, somewhere in the remote creeks of Ishawo. This time, the team was led by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, with ACP Olatunji Disu in the team.

Among the civilians were the Lagos State Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna, his assistant, Mr. Ekene Okoro, and Mrs. Oluwatoyin Malik, the Crime Editor of Nigerian Tribune, who by fate made the team and I.

Surrounded by heavily armed men, it was a scarier adventure, navigating unknown (to me) creeks of Lagos via Majidun River.

For close to an hour, the team was ferried on Lagos Police Gun Boat from one location to the other until we are joined by more men, who later took fewer journalists to the kidnappers hideouts where about 30 suspects kidnappers had been picked earlier for questioning.

Please see in pictures the journey that almost made me wee - wee in my pant.

Shine yur eyes time

But where is lalasticlala sef

So about two people wore life jacket.. The rest can die for all insanity.. What a country.

Jokers....

Real funny


You are searching for kidnappers(militants) with this kind of boats

People wey you dey search dey use 800(or above) horse power engine for one boat and una use dis 'market boat' to go hunt for kidnappers for creek..


Abeg, oga journalist, no follow them go dis kinda waka next time.

Careless waka!!

This operation should be extended to the creeks of Ondo State. Arogbo-Ijaw is teeming with militants.

I am of the opinion that Ese-Odo LG be carved out of Ondo State. The Ijaws therein can go join their kins in Delta. They contribute nothing to Ondo nay the South West aside from militancy.

Fortunately, The Crude Oil Deposit and Atlantic Ocean in Ondo State is located in Ilaje LG

I agree with you. Imagine going on a missioin like this with wooden fishermen canoes and limited life jackets. Where are the Speed Boats? Where are the Gun Boats? The Nigerian security apparatus is a huge joke

Are you insane. Going after militants with canoes and paddles and you want me to believe you.

This is a show for the public and we aren't buying it.

Police should stop harrasing and killing innocent civilians then we would applaud.

Not this rubbish.

We are wiser now.

Crazy ordeal...

Thieves searching for kidnappers.
Evil vs Evil . . . . . God forbid!

Wawu!!!

Kidnapping is now the new armed robbery in Nigeria.

believe you me, bullet proof vests are way more important than life jackets in this situation. These waters are but that deep.

SHAKING MY HEAD

good one there my brother ......nor mind them.
They know who the real kidnapper are...

Nigeria is a scrap. Even d one wit pot belly wan catch kidnapper. Na like dis advanced countries police de track criminals? *spits* #wawu!

Npf can like to fall hand, they dont even have amphibious unit. dem dey carry canoe go find kidnapper? if d criminals empty one catridge of ak47 on d boat, the crew of that boat will be helpless and vulnerable. they need to be equipped with gunboats such as the ones shown below.

but those kind expeditions go sweet o, the journalist too ought to be given a gun just in case things go south.
