The Ogun State Police has
arrested a suspected kidnapper, Odele Tosin, for allegedly masterminding
the kidnap of a 12-year-old girl, Eniola Oyekanmi, in the Ketu area of
Lagos.
The victim was said to have been kidnapped on Friday by the gang at the Orimerunmu area of Ketu.
Oyekanmi was rescued around 1am on Saturday in a hotel at
Mowe, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
She was taken to the hotel, while the gang demanded a ransom.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the victim was kidnapped by the gang while she was running an errand for her parents.
He said, “She was taken to a hotel in
Mowe where the kidnappers kept her and started demanding a ransom. They
ran out of luck when the anti-robbery team from Mowe Division, led by
the Divisional Police Officer, Francis Ebohuwa, got a tip-off and
stormed the hotel. One of the suspects was arrested while others
escaped. The victim was rescued unhurt.”
Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, had ordered a manhunt for the members of the gang who escaped.
He said Iliyasu had also directed that
the suspect be transferred to the Anti-kidnapping Unit of the command
headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation.
