Kidnappers have gotten more sophisticated and brazen in their activities even as they now wear clean suits and operate openly in the Lagos Murtala Muhammed International airport.

Dr. Dein Braide narrated how the attempted kidnap unfolded on his Instagram:

BE CAREFUL AT THE AIRPORT . This man approached my friend and her daughter when they arrived Lagos, Nigeria from London, saying he was sent to pick her from her mom. She questioned him, knowing her husband was on his way to pick them up. He still insisted by unfolding a paper with her name and that of her daughter’s (Of which he got the spelling of her daughter’s name totally wrong). The man kept trying to persuade them saying a car was waiting for them outside. It wasn’t until my friend “changed it” for him that he backed off.

She tried to tell the security officials at the airport and even showed them the picture she took of him and they told her, “they will tell him not to do it again”. Shoving the complaint aside like nothing happened. The airport officials are in on it.

PLEASE INFORM RELATIVES AND FRIENDS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY. THEY SHOULD NOT ENTER ANY VEHICLE WITHOUT FIRST CONFIRMING THE SOURCE OF THE RIDE AND THE DRIVER’S IDENTITY.
