Armed kidnappers have abducted a woman, Olanike Ogundare, from her residence in the Oke Agaye area of Ijedodo, Lagos State.

The victim was reportedly taken at about 1:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 23, 2026 from No. 1 Olufemi Ogundare Street.

According to accounts from the neighbourhood, the attackers carried out a coordinated operation, overpowering the security guard on duty at gunpoint before whisking the victim away to an unknown destination.
