The Lagos State Police Command has uncovered a den disguised as a shrine and operated by suspected kidnappers in the Idimu area of the state.
Operatives of the command also arrested no fewer than 13 suspects in connection with the discovery.
The Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, who led journalists on a tour of the premises located along Pipeline Road in the community on Wednesday, said the suspects were members of a notorious “one-chance” and kidnapping syndicate operating in the state.
He said the arrests followed intelligence-led stop-and-search operations carried out by police operatives in the early hours of Sunday.
