Two Pakistani Nationals Arrested for Kidnapping in Lagos, Five Suspects Still at Large
Lagos State Police have arrested two Pakistani nationals, Roman Gull (28) and Aftab Ahmad (19), for allegedly orchestrating the kidnapping of a 48-year-old Pakistani man in Ikeja, Lagos.
According to the Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the suspects—along with five accomplices—lured the victim from Kano to Lagos under the pretense of offering him a job as a chef. They arranged his flight and accommodation in a hotel on February 28, 2025.
However, the next day, the suspects overpowered and tied him up, demanding a ₦50 million ransom from his boss in Kano. The boss paid ₦1 million as a delay tactic before alerting the police.
Upon receiving a distress call on March 5, 2025, officers from the Ikeja Division's anti-crime patrol swiftly responded, rescuing the victim and arresting Gull and Ahmad, while five other suspects managed to escape.
Recovered from the suspects were their getaway vehicle—a grey Toyota Camry—$2,000 in cash, three ATM cards, a Green Card, a driver’s license, and an NIN slip.
Hundeyin assured that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects and that the rescued victim is safe and has contacted his family.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, commended the officers for their swift action and reaffirmed the command’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of residents and visitors in Lagos.
