In a remarkable turn of events, the Lagos State Police Command conducted a successful operation to rescue and secure the release of three brothers from the Fouani family, along with two other individuals, on Monday night in Orugbo Iddo.

The brothers, namely Abbas, Youssef, and Amtal Fouani, were abducted by kidnappers on June 14 while traveling by boat from Apapa to Victoria Island.
