The Lagos State Special Anti-robbery Squad has killed seven suspected kidnappers and arrested two others during a cross fire in Agbara area of Ogun State, southwest Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Police alleged that the suspects were behind the kidnap of Lagos politician Kehinde Bamigbetan, Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Police said the arrested suspects are 27-year old Ogbonna Emenike and 25-year old Uchenna Nwanyu. The shootout took place at the weekend.<\/p>\n

The items recovered from the suspects include four AK 47 Rifles, twenty-Eight AK 47 Magazine fully loaded and a thousand round of live ammunition. Others are army uniforms, a Honda CRV jeep with Reg No.ABC106AE and a Nissan Pathfinder Reg No.AGL730AZ as well as local charms.<\/p>\n

The officer in charge of SARS said: “when I received the information about their hideout in Agbara in Ogun State, I quickly mobilised my men to their camp where they lodged.<\/p>\n

“After 72hours of waiting in ambush, I and my squadron team stormed the place where all the kidnappers have gathered around 6.30 am on 24\/06\/2013.<\/p>\n

“As a result of this,seven of the kidnappers were fatally wounded during a heavy gun battle between the kidnappers and my men. <\/p>\n

“Also an Indian National one Mr. Vivex Changrani who was kidnapped in Ikoyi,at about 12.am was also rescued successfully in the kidnappers hideout.”<\/p>\n

The Lagos State commissioner of Police Mr. Umar Abubakar Manko warned other kidnappers to flee Lagos.<\/p>\n

“Criminals will not have comfort in Lagos. Lagos is not a comfort zone. My advice (for criminals) is to go away from Lagos,” Manko said.<\/p>\n

Bamigbetan was kidnapped in April by unidentified gunmen while he was about to enter his street, Ona Iwa Mimo, Ori-Oke near Egbe bridge in Ejigbo.<\/p>\n

He was with his driver, Abiodun Olayiwola, in his black SUV with customised registration number Lagos KOK when the gunmen waylaid him.<\/p>\n

The council boss was said to be on his way home from an official assignment when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

His SUV was badly damaged by an electric pole which stopped it while the driver tried to escape from the gunmen.<\/p>\n
