This success came two weeks after the discovery of a similar hideout in Ishawo, Ikorodu, Lagos. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Fatai Owoseni had two weeks ago charged the team to embark on a continuous combing of the Lagos waterways and creeks in search of suspected kidnappers. The suspected kidnappers, who were preparing their morning meal scampered into safety on sighting the special team abandoning several items. Other items recovered by the team includes a speedboat belonging to the suspected kidnappers. The team thereafter destroyed the hideout before moving the recovered items out of the location.
