Two children who were on their way to a tutorial centre in Lagos State on Monday afternoon escaped after they entered a ‘One Chance’ vehicle apparently being used for kidnapping purposes.
The two children, a boy and a girl, who escaped at around 11.00 p.m., were however seen around midnight on Tuesday crying at the Cement bus stop area of the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway by men of the Lagos State Police Command patrolling the area.
After some questions, the officers eventually took the children to their parents home around 12.10 a.m. on Tuesday.
