Some alleged kidnappers in the Epe area of Lagos were caught just as they were trying to get away with their crime.
In a report sent to Naij.com, it was alleged that the criminals consisting of one female and two men were apprehended by residents and stripped naked.
Some of the people suggested setting the kidnappers on fire although it was not known if this threat was carried out as at the time of the report.
