It would be recalled that the unknown gunmen last week Thursday, ravaged Royal Garden Relaxation Spot at about 8.30pm killed one Anthony Monday and Kidnapped three from the arena.

Among those released from  captivity are the hotel manager’s 18 months old boy, a brother of late Anthony Monday and one lady who were whisked away to unknown destination by kidnappers.

The gunmen who were allegedly dressed in Fulani attires stormed the open arena of the Royal Garden on that fateful day and started shooting sporadically as customers scampered for safety in different directions.

Barely 12 hours of the incident, it was gathered that the kidnappers started demanding for ransom as the Toddler who was kidnapped along with them was allegedly giving them tough time and sleepless nights with continuous crying.
