The Lagos State Police Command has announced that its officers successfully rescued the three abducted Fouani brothers. Benjamin Hundeyin, the police spokesperson for the state, confirmed their release in a statement to journalists on Tuesday.

The three brothers, identified as Abbas Fouani, Youssef Fouani, and Amtal Fouani, were reportedly abducted around 6 p.m. on June 14 in Lagos while returning from their factory by boat. Fouani Nigeria Ltd, the company they work for, specializes in electronics and is the exclusive distributor of LG, Hisense, and Maxi products in Nigeria.

The police had previously stated on Monday that they were working “tirelessly” to ensure the victims’ release. According to reports, including one from Vanguard, the victims, along with the boat driver and his assistant, were released on Monday night in Orugbo Iddo.

In confirming their release, Hundeyin credited the Lagos Marine Police and the Nigerian Navy for their efforts.

He stated, “They were rescued late last night in Orugbo Iddo. Our marine police, with the support of the Nigerian Navy, brought them to shore.

Thereafter, our tactical team in the area took them home to Banana Island in the early hours of today. Five of them were rescued: three Lebanese, the boat captain, and his assistant.”
