Landlords Intercept Suspected Armed Robber Terrorising Apete Residents, Hand over To Police

Plan by a 37-year-old Ibadan-based woman and her children to be located to the United States by her husband  has been foiled.

Mrs Bukola Ogun, who confessed how she planned her own kidnap in order to scare her husband while being paraded, alongside others by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, said that her husband, who has dual citizenship of Nigeria and the US, worked for the stock exchange and that the whole thing started like a joke.

She added that she lodged herself in a hotel at Imalefalafia area of Ibadan, explaining that “I just woke up one day and thought of a way to make my husband see reason why he should use his American citizen status to take me out of the country. It all started like a child’s play. I told my supposed abductors to tell my husband that the ransom was N10m although I knew he would not be able to pay such money. He is just a salary earner. I lodged myself in a hotel and I was there for two days. I went back home on the third day and no ransom was paid.”

She was said to have conspired with three other persons, including her cousin, to arrange the crime. The suspects arrested are Kayode Adepoju and Olalekan Anafi.

Speaking on how the suspects were arrested, the police boss‎ said: “The Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the command arrested a business woman who conspired with a three-man gang to orchestrate her own kidnap in order to fraudulently obtain money from her husband, Kayode Ogun, who lives with her in Ibadan.

“The incident happened on July 4, 2017 at around 7.45pm when three armed hoodlums stormed the residence of the supposed victim and kidnapped her. Barely four hours later, the suspects contacted the husband and demanded a N10m for her release.

“The husband, who did not know that it was all arranged by his wife, contacted the police and a manhunt was launched for the hoodlums. Two male suspects were later arrested.”

‎It was learnt that the husband, who resided in the US for many years before returning home a few years ago, had already begun the process of relocating the family to the US but the wife thought the process was too slow. They have been married for six years and blessed with two children.

The cousin, Adepoju, said, “She called me and said she wanted to stage her kidnap. She said she wanted to scare her husband with it so that he would see reason why it was necessary for him to take her abroad. We did not collect any money from the husband and we did not use any weapon in the operation. I was arrested a day after we kidnapped her.”
