LAGOS FEBRUARY 26TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The woman who was rescued by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps from suspected kidnappers in the Badagry area of Lagos State on Sunday morning is dead.
According to available information, the woman, who was operated upon successfully and delivered of a baby boy, died on Sunday afternoon.
The FRSC Badagry Unit Commander, Fatai Bakare, confirmed the development.
Bakare said: “We blocked the vehicle and found them struggling with the woman to keep shut.
“They had planned to drop her off on the expressway as they were speeding, but the pressure mounted by those chasing them from behind did not allow them to do that.
“We discovered that the woman was injured and took her to Ola-Oki Hospital at Ibereko.
“It was the closest to the scene of the incident and within 20 minutes, she was delivered of a baby. She had to be operated upon because she was in pains.
“However, before we returned, the mob had caught up with the robbers and got tyres with which they set them ablaze.
“Some soldiers put out the fire and rescued them.
“They were handed over to the police.”
