Police in Lagos said on Tuesday that the three abducted Fouani brothers have been rescued.
The brothers – Abbas Fouani, Youssef Fouani and Amtal Fouani – were taken captive on June 14 while returning from their factory around 6pm.
Fouani Nigeria Ltd specialises in electronics and is the sole distributor of LG, Hisense, and Maxi products in Nigeria.
Lagos police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that the victims were rescued by the Lagos Marine police with support from the navy.
The victims, including the boat driver and his assistant, were released on Monday night in Orugbo Iddo.
“They were rescued late last night in Orugbo Iddo. Our marine police with the support of the Nigerian Navy brought them to shore,” Hundeyin told TheCable.
“Thereafter, our tactical team in the area took them home on Banana Island in the early hours of today.
“Five of them, three Lebanese, the boat captain and his assistant.”
