The Lagos police command has rescued the three abducted Fouani brothers, Abbas Fouani, Youssef Fouani, and Amtal Fouani.
The brothers, who are part of the prominent Fouani Nigeria Ltd family, were kidnapped on June 14 around 6 pm while travelling by boat from their factory.
Fouani Nigeria Ltd, a leading electronics company, is the sole distributor of LG, Hisense, and Maxi products in Nigeria.

“They were rescued late last night in Orugbo Iddo. Our marine police with the support of the Nigerian Navy brought them to shore,” Hundeyin said.
“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.”
Giving an update on the abduction on Monday, the police announced they are working ‘tirelessly’ to secure the safe release of the victims.
