A 37-year-old woman, Bilikisu Kazeem, has died after she was shot during a gun duel between the police and kidnappers on Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Police Spokesman in Ogun State, Omolola Odutola, in a statement on Saturday, January 27, said nine out of ten hostages were rescued from the suspected kidnappers during the encounter.
