4 Suspected Kidnappers Arrested By Amotekun In Ondo

 Four suspected kidnappers have been nabbed by operatives of Ondo State Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps, who also rescued their victims. 

 

The Nation reported that the kidnappers who missed their target, a businessman living around Oda road area last Friday, had resorted to abducting three persons who were taking shelter from the rain at a bus stop in the area.

 

Two of the victims were rescued but the kidnappers reportedly changed location and held on to the remaining victim demanding for payment of ransom. It was in the course of collecting ransom that one Usman Garuba was arrested by Amotekun operatives.

 

Usman took security operatives to their hideouts where others were arrested and the remaining female victim was rescued.

 

Ondo Amotekun Commander, Chief Adetunji Adeleye who confirmed their arrest said; 

 

“We were able to rescue two victims that same day but the kidnappers held onto to one. We sold a decoy to them of ransom payment and in the course of that we were able to nab one of them who led us to their hideouts and we arrested others.

“This Umar Garuba has confessed to carrying out other kidnapping activities.”

 

Usman told newsmen that he was introduced by a man he called his master who promised to give him a job.

 

He alleged that Mohammed raped their victim, while Sanni beat up a woman who refused to pay any ransom.
