Ambode also said the arrest of two suspects connected to the crime, is a warning to criminals to know that there is nowhere to hide in Lagos state.
He said “Permit me to state that the kidnap of an Oba in Yoruba land is a sacrilege and a complete discretion of the cultural values of the yoruba people that must not go unpunished.”
Speaking on the war against militants, the Lagos Governor also said “This operation is yielding desirable results and will continue until those criminal activities are completely stamped out.”
