A Nigerian man has cried out after his brother was kidnapped in the Igbelara area of Ikorodu and taken into a nearby forest.
The incident was shared in a video posted on the popular social media platform, TikTok.
In the video, the man narrated that his brother was abducted by kidnappers who fled with him through the bush on their street.
He stated that although police officers arrived at the scene since the previous night, they have yet to rescue his brother despite signs and evidence in the forest.
He criticized the police for lacking the expertise to handle the situation, claiming they refused to go deep into the forest and instead remained at its edge.
According to him, the kidnappers were seen the night before using torchlights, and gunshots were heard from within the bush.
His words: "This is my brother's car. He was kidnapped on this street. According to information, the kidnappers went with him through the forest. Police have been here since last night without any result. They just stand at the edge of the forest-no one is entering."
He continued,
"My senior brother was kidnapped in Ikorodu last night. My mum called me around 12 a.m. We thought it was a normal kidnapping or maybe a business issue because he is a building contractor. Since then, we haven't heard anything."
He also added that police officers saw signs of the kidnappers' torchlight and heard gunshots in the swamp at the time they arrived, but failed to act.
The video sparked reactions online, with many concerned Nigerians flooding the comment section to express their thoughts.
