The police in Nigeria's southwest Lagos State have arrested three suspected kidnappers, including a herbalist allegedly involved in the abduction of a medical doctor. State police spokesperson Samuel Jinadu told reporters in Lagos on Sunday that the suspects were arrested through intelligence reports. The suspects were arrested on Oct. 9 in a hideout in the Obadore-Igando area of Lagos, while the medical doctor and three others were rescued. "Intelligence reports, including telecommunication reports on their phone transactions assisted the police to arrest them," he added. "We are on the trail of other suspects at large. As soon as investigation is concluded, the suspects will be charged to court, " Jinadu said. He urged the public to promptly supply the police with information about criminal activities in their areas.
