Oba of Iba in Lagos kidnapped

Suspected gunmen  stormed Iba Community in Iba Local Council Development Area of Lagos State on Saturday evening and abducted the traditional ruler, His Royal Highness Goriola Oseni.

Witnesses  said, the gunmen, numbering about 16, stormed the community in two boats and announced their presence by shooting sporadically into the air.

Although details of the attack were still sketchy as at press time, it was gathered that the gang killed a member of the local vigilante and also allegedly shot and injured the wife of the traditional ruler.

After terrorising the community, the gunmen made away with the traditional ruler and left in their boats through the river.
