The twenty-seven years old suspected kidnapper also revealed that he used take part of the ransom money collected from victims to get married to them.
According to
the Osun State-born Adetunji, his love for women is responsible for his having
two wives at his age and had hoped to marry more before he was arrested.
He said that
one of his wives had a premonition of his current travails and warned him to
stay away from members of his gang. He regretted that he would miss his wives
and family who, he claimed, he was trying to make happy. On how he joined the
kidnapping gang, he said it was Niyi Omosola that introduced and placed him and
other members of the gang on an oath administered by a native doctor, known as
Baba.
The other
suspects are Ifeanyi Chukwuleta, 25, from Oguta in Imo State, and Kolawale
Alani, 26, from Ekiti State. The suspects were arrested after the kidnap of a
62-year-old woman, Kudirat Adeboye, along Eleko-Epe Expressway by six armed
men. It was gathered that the gang contacted the victim’s family and demanded
N50 million but eventually accepted N3 million after six days of keeping the
victim.
The
kidnappers directed the victim’s son to drop the money at a spot on Ijebu-Ode
Road, where one of the kidnappers came out from the bush to collect the ransom.
Operatives of Special Anti-robbery Squad, SARS, who were deployed to the area
pursued the kidnappers and one of them, Niyi Omosola, was caught now late he
died from sustained injuries. He said it
was Omosola that took operatives to a forest along Epe Road where the victim
was rescued.
