Gov. Ambode orders Police to manhunt for notorious kidnappers

Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has asked the police to launch a manhunt for the kidnappers of Mr. Dayo Adekoya, the secretary of an estate’s residents association in Lagos.

In a statement, the state's Information and Strategy Commissioner, Steve Ayorinde, said the governor urged the police to move “decisively and promptly” to smoke out the kidnappers.

Gov. Ambode commiserated with the families of the slain security guards, saying the government is working with security agencies to ensure the victims release.

“A while ago, the police commissioner confirmed that police has commenced investigation as well as put in place necessary rescue operation to ensure the release of the victim.

“While the state government commiserates with the families of the three dead estate security guards, it will leave no stone unturned to ensure that lives and property of residents in the state are protected,” he assured.
