Two siblings and one other person were on Tuesday arrested by operatives of Ogun State police command for threatening and making an attempt to kidnap their former employer.
The suspects, identified as Miss Blessing Oyeleke, 23; Mr David Oyeleke and Mr Kabiru Oniyitan, were apprehended following a report at Onipanu divisional police headquarters, Ogun State, by one Mr Makinde Oluwatoyin, the MD of Precy Company, Ota.
Ogun police image maker, Abimbola Oyeyemi, comfirmed that the MD had reported on the 4th of December that he received a phone call from an anonymous caller who threatened to kidnap his son, Makinde Solomon from school and wipe out his entire family if he failed to pay the sum of N2million to a specific bank account within three days.
He stated further that the caller described his children’s school and the location of his residents which suggested that he has been under their surveillance for some time.
Upon the report, the DPO Onipanu division, Csp Bamidele Job, detailed his detectives to embark on intelligence and technical based investigation.
Their efforts paid off when one of them was traced to her hideout and was arrested with the phone which they were using to make calls to the man.
Her arrest led to the subsequent arrest of her two other accomplices, while the remaining one is still at large.
On interrogation, they confessed to have jointly planned the crime together having worked in the man’s company before and know his financial capacity.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Ajogun has ordered that the case be diligently investigated by the anti-kidnapping unit of the State criminal investigation and intelligence department, police headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
