There is tension in New Haven Estate, Igbelaju, in the Iba area of Lagos State, after some gunmen in military uniform abducted three landlords in the estate.

The gunmen attacked the estate on Saturday and on Monday, two of the landlords were reportedly abducted while going to their workplaces.

It was gathered that in the attack on Saturday, a woman, identified only as Nwoche, was abducted from her residence and had yet to be released.

As residents grappled with the shock, the gunmen on Monday at about 11am, reportedly waylaid two other landlords driving out of the estate and ordered them to the creek at gunpoint.

While one of the victims was identified only as Chima, the name of the other had yet to be ascertained.

The matter was said to have been reported at the Ojo Police Division, which sent operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, to comb the area.

Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the attack, saying operatives of the command were already on a rescue mission.

Badmos, a Supretendent of Police said the command received the report that some men in military camouflage came under the guise of making an arrest and whisked away a landlord, adding that effort was on to ensure his release and subsequent arrest of the suspects.
