The residents, who spoke with the News Agency on Sunday, noted that the kidnapping of residents and indigenes of Epe Division of Lagos State was on the increase.
This, they stressed, called for urgent government attention.
Epe residents said that they were having sleepless nights over the activities of kidnappers.
A resident, Tunde Adeyemo, pleaded with the state government and Lagos State lawmakers to find a lasting solution to the ugly trend.
He said that kidnappers invaded the Eredo-Epe community and have been unleashing mayhem on the community.
“Nobody is sleeping with two eyes closed now because nobody can tell when the kidnappers will strike.
“We need the government’s urgent attention to stop this terrible menace in this part of Lagos State,” he said.
