Two kidnappers were on Sunday 3rd of October 2021 arrested by men of Ogun state police command while trying to pick ransom money.
In a statement signed by DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, Ogun State
Police Command, Public Relation Officer, he said the suspects, Muhammed
Abubakar 42 yrs old and Clinton Niche 18 yrs old were apprehended following a
report lodged at Agbara Area command by one Stephen Ajibili who reported that
his seven years old son, Daniel Ajibili was abducted by unknown persons while
he was sent on an errand by his mother at about 11:20 am. He stated further
that the abductors had called him and demanded for the sum of one million naira
if he wants his son released.
Consequent upon the report, the acting area commander
Agbara, CSP Kayode Shedrack, quickly mobilized his detectives to embark on
technical and intelligence based investigation to unravel those behind the
dastardly act.
The efforts of the detectives paid off when the
suspects who had directed the victim's parents to drop the ransom money
somewhere were ambushed and apprehended by the police detectives. The suspects
subsequently led the policemen to a bush where the innocent young boy was tied
to a three by his abductors.
On interrogation, the suspects informed the police
that they are three in number, but the remaining member of their gang was the
person watching over their victim while they came out to collect the ransom.
Having discovered that his two accomplices have been arrested, he took to
flight immediately.
Meanwhile, the acting commissioner of police, DCP
Abiodun Alamutu, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to anti
kidnapping section of the state criminal investigation and intelligence
department for discreet investigation. He also directed that the fleeing member
of the gang be hunted for and brought to justice within the shortest possible
period.
