Three suspected kidnappers who robbed their victim and his family of N3 million are now singing like canary birds in the Lagos Police Command’s custody.
The Isashi Police Division had received a call from a concerned citizen at about noon on Tuesday about the kidnapping operation.
The Lagos Police Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin said on Wednesday that, “The report revealed that some hoodlums had an unknown person at Oke Moro, Isashi”.
According to Hundeyin, a team of policemen was sent to the scene, where one male victim, 24, was rescued and the three suspects arrested.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects, after beating the victim, requested N2 million ransom, which his mother paid through two different bank accounts.
“The suspects also collected the sum of N1 million from the victim’s bank account through mobile transfer.
“The victim was also dispossessed of his three Nigerian International Passports and other valuables,” he said.
Hundeyin said that the investigation was ongoing, while efforts were being made to track those who fled the scene.
