Lagos dismisses viral kidnapping claims on Gbagada Expressway

Lagos State Government has debunked online rumours alleging a surge in kidnapping incidents along the Gbagada Expressway.

The false claims, circulated via a flyer purportedly issued by the state government, warned commuters of increased abductions in the area.

The message further alleged that criminals were using the ‘one chance’ tactic and operating in commercial vehicles to prey on unsuspecting residents.

Responding on his official X handle on Friday, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile, wrote: “Good morning Lagos, please beware of this fake news in circulation again! We’ve addressed it in the past, but purveyors of fakery are not tired of recycling this rubbish. Kindly ignore it. Thank you.”
