A teenager who arranged a kidnap of
himself with the aim of diverting his master's Five hundred thousand naira
(N500,000), has been arrested up by police detectives in Ogun State.
Also arrested for alleged
complicity in the pseudo kidnap saga were two friends of the principal suspect,
who acted as members of a kidnap-for-ransom syndicate.
Adeboye Micheal, 18, was said to
have been sent to bank by his master, Oluwoju Ojo Abiodun, to deposit the said
sum but thereafter decided to do away with the money and went further to make
further demand of another N500,000 through an arranged kidnap.
To accomplish his mission, it was
gathered that, Michael contacted Nafiu Ojo and Abdullahi Lawal, who both acted
as kidnappers.
While this was going on, the
principal suspect, apparently convinced that the deal was flawless, lodged in a
hotel with two girls, playing, 'big boy' with his master's money.
Bubble later burst when his master,
Oluwoju Ojo Abiodun, made for Oke-Itoku Police Division in Abeokuta and
narrated how he sent his apprehentice, Michael, to bank with the said sum, only
to be stunned by the news of his 'kidnap' , a few hours later, with the men
behind the scene claiming to have collected the money from him, and made an
additional demand of N500,000 to make up their N1million ransom.
According to a press release by the
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, after
a preliminary investigation by men of Oke-Itoku Police Station, the case was
transferred to the Anti-Kidnapping Section of the State Criminal Investigation
and Intelligence Department (SCIID) in Eleweran, whose technical-based
investigation trailed and apprehended Michael's collaborators on December 13,
2018.
