Rumors making the rounds about the alleged kidnap of an expatriate in the Ikorodu area of Lagos state by a Badoo gang member, have been debunked by the Lagos State Police Commissioner Fatai Owoseni, Premium Times reports.
Owoseni made his comments in a chat with journalists at the Police officers’ Mess, Ikeja, on Wednesday August 30.
According to the police chief, no such incident of an ‘American expatriate’, either kidnapped orattacked, in Ikorodu had been recorded by the state Police Command, even after the command had conducted a wide search.
He advised the public to be careful about what they post on social media.Owoseni stated:“Sometimes, people just ascribe names of places to where incidents happen.
“From the voices that followed that (video), Yoruba language was being spoken… languages that appear Edo are (also) being spoken.
“We want to appeal to the general public not todo anything that will disparage the country andmake it appear as if it is not safe.
“When they see such incident, they should report to the appropriate quarters.”
The expatriate was picked from the airport by the cultist who is reportedly also a cab driver.
The Badoo member then proceeded to take theforeigner home, where he then allegedly used a cutlass to butcher him; but thankfully, the victim survived.
