The Lagos police command says its operatives have rescued the three abducted Fouani brothers.
Abbas, Youssef, and Amtal Fouani are the three brothers who were allegedly kidnapped on June 14 at around 6 p.m. in Lagos.
The only distributor of LG, Hisense, and Maxi goods in Nigeria is Fouani Nigeria Ltd, an electronics specialist.
It was said that the three brothers were kidnapped while they were travelling by boat back from their factory.
On Monday, the police said it was working “tirelessly” to ensure that the victims were released.
It was gathered that the victims, including the boat driver and his assistant, were released Monday night in Orugbo Iddo.
Confirming their release via a Whatsapp chat, Benjamin Hundeyin, police spokesperson in the state, said the feat was achieved by the Lagos Marine police with support from the navy.
Hundeyin said the victims have since been taken to their residence.
“They were rescued late last night in Orugbo Iddo. Our marine police with the support of the Nigerian Navy brought them to shore,” Hundeyin said.
“Thereafter, our tactical team in the area took them home on Banana Island in the early hours of today.
“Five of them, three Lebanese, the boat captain and his assistant.”
