A 50-year-old Customs official, Mrs. Comfort Alaba, has been
kidnapped by unknown gunmen in the FESTAC Town area of Lagos State. The
assailants reportedly whisked away 50-year-old Comfort around 8pm on
Tuesday while she was visiting her children on 22 Road, FESTAC Town.
According to Punch, the gunmen ordered the children not to shout,
threatening to shoot them dead if they did, as they made away with their
mother in her black Murano Jeep.
It was gathered that the woman who recently separated from her
husband and had left her home on 11 Road, A Close, for her husband’s
place, to visit her children when the incident happened.
The woman's daughter, Faith said the gunmen did not wear any mask.
She said, “My mum came to visit us. We were in her Jeep,
playing with her. She had spent about 20 minutes with us and was
preparing to leave.
“As I hugged her goodbye, and my sister stepped out of her
vehicle, two guys walked up to her and took control of the car. As I was
about to shout, one of them put a gun to my abdomen and said if I
shouted he would kill me.
“I suddenly heard a gunshot, and before I knew it, they had
zoomed off with her. They wore black clothes. They didn’t say anything
to us except when they threatened me. They were two in number.”
The little girl has begged the kidnappers to release their mother.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the
incident, adding that investigations were ongoing.
