In response to the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, to go after the fleeing suspects in connection to the kidnap of the wife of Retired Assistant-Inspector General, AIG Hakeem Odumosu, the operatives of the Lagos State CP Special Squad have apprehended two more suspects identified as Agbojule Smart ‘m’, 27 years and Keleke Michael ‘m’, 30 years.
The suspects were arrested in the early hours of Friday while on their way out of Lagos State. Upon interrogation, they confessed to their crime – belonging to a gang of four, two of whom have been neutralised previously in the operation by the Ogun State Police Command’s operatives.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, posted the Police Facebook page said items recovered from the suspects upon their arrest included a sum of N2,250,000, which was part of the requested ransom from the kidnap, two locally fabricated rifles, and 11 live cartridges.
“The IGP commends the police operatives for their gallantry in apprehending these suspects and encourages them to maintain this high standard of competence in the fight against crime in all its manifestations.
“The Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to public safety and the security of the good citizens of Nigeria. The Force remains steadfast in its commitment to reducing crime to an absolute minimum and fostering the establishment of peace across the nation,” the Police spokesman added.
