More details emerge on the Kidnappers' den discovered in Ikeja (photos)

A den suspected to be used by members of an unknown kidnap gang has been discovered at Ile-Zik, close to Ikeja, capital of Lagos state. The security operatives currently combing the place reportedly found human parts concealed in some sachets. Three suspects have been arrested, while a sharp knife was found on one of the suspects said to have been posing as a mad man. A police officer, who spoke off the record said that the suspects are currently being interrogated at Isokoko police station.

There are at least eight patrol vans of the police at the location, while a huge crowd converged on the place, making it difficult for free movement. This has compounded the traffic situation on the every-busy Lagos Abeokuta expressway.

The discovery of this camp comes two days after a den was allegedly discovered on the Ijaiye axis of the same expressway. It is not yet clear if the one in Ijaiye was used by kidnappers as some residents have disputed the claim, saying hoodlums only raised false alarm so as to steal.
