The Lagos State Police Command has uncovered a new trend of kidnapping, called Constructive Kidnapping, where unsuspecting ladies are lured by kidnappers posing as internet friends and lovers.
The Command reveals that this threatening scheme has already ensnared 16 ladies from various parts of the state, who were fortunate to be rescued by the police Command.
According to the Commissioner of Police, CP Olawale Ishola, while briefing newsmen at the weekend says kidnappers begins by tagging their potential victims as friends on social media platforms, establishing a false sense of acquaintance and invite them to Lagos often under the guise of a romantic rendezvous.
He, therefore, warns members of the public, especially ladies to be cautious when interacting with strangers online, advising members of the public to say something when they see something.
