“It all started at about 10:00 pm, we suddenly started hearing gunshots, and immediately we knew something was wrong. I quickly went out to make sure my gate was well locked.
“Then we heard the gunshot in the barrister’s house, we alerted the estate’s management, who swung into action immediately. In a short time, army people came around and started shooting too, but before they came, the kidnappers had taken the lawyer’s wife and one of his in-laws.
“This is really traumatising because we could not sleep throughout the night due to fear of the kidnappers coming back. President Tinubu should please help Nigerians put an end to this barbaric act by the kidnappers” he said.
