Three kidnappers, including their leader, nicknamed “Davido,” have been apprehended by residents of Victory Estate in Ago Palace, Lagos State.
The incident was captured in a viral post on X, formerly Twitter, showing the suspects seated on the ground while being interrogated by residents.
During the questioning, one of the kidnappers identified himself as Ifeanyi from Anambra State, while the alleged leader confirmed his nickname, stating, “Davido is my nickname. I came to kidnap.” The other two suspects revealed they were from Kwara and Imo states.
As the post circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their reactions.
See some reactions below:
@TerwaseMurphy: “Even though these are criminals, they were treated with bias. The person who should have ordinarily been treated harshly is the gang leader, but the other guy got more beating than him because the two are from the same tribe. Even criminals are treated differently based on tribe. We’re gone as a country.”
@adex_smithjr: “What does he mean he came from kwara state, but didn’t tell the other one who came all the way from anambra over 10hrs drive and even imo of almost 1day drive. Jungle justice with a touch of tribalism. To those “i am yoruba but i will rather follow igbo” na so them go threat you 😂.”
@ipob_central: “They are all Lagos brought up. From Anambra-Kwara-Imo.”
@davortexvibe: “Why are you asking if they’ll come again? Police no dey to hand them over to?”
@RealPearMan: “I hate kidnappers . Just make sure they don’t leave to discuss this.”
@AyokunleBobby: “Make den release those 2 abeg and send them far away from South west, we already know what they are Known for. but you see that one Sadiq, he need to rot in Jail.”
@_OnosOnos: “They’re some parts of this country they’ll catch this guys and it’s curtains, before they finish saying their names tyres and fuel don fall out from nowhere. They should thank God.”
