A rising Nollywood actor has been reported as one of the casualties in a recent police operation targeting a suspected kidnapping gang in Lagos.
According to reports, the Lagos State Police Command’s Special Squad One Team engaged a nine-man suspected kidnap gang around the Ajao, Okota, Isolo, and Ladipo axis of the state on July 5th. The operation resulted in the death of all nine suspects, with the police recovering five AK-47 rifles and two SUV jeeps.
