A 40-year-old woman has been arrested by Lagos State Police Command over an alleged kidnapping of three schoolchildren in the Ijegun area of the state.
The elderly woman was arrested on Monday following a distress call by the headmaster of the school that some unknown persons invaded the school and abducted three students on the school premises.
It was gathered that the suspects positioned their operational motorcycles close to the school premises, waiting for other members who went inside to get their targets.
Confirming the development to Channels Television via a phone conversation on Tuesday, the police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the culprits were given a hot chase and one of the suspects was arrested and the children were rescued.
Hudeyin said that other unknown suspects escaped with an unregistered motorcycle upon sighting the police.
Meanwhile, the victims aged 4, 5 and 6 years have been reunited with their families while the investigation is ongoing.
