MY WIVES KNOW ME AS CRIMINAL... SUSPECTED KIDNAPPER

 Rasheed Adetunji,27,a suspected kidnapper,has confessed that his two wives knew he was a criminal and not a kidnapper, adding that he used part of the ransom money collected from victims to marry them.

Adetunji also confessed that one of his wives had premonition of his current travails and warned him to stay away from members of his gang but he did not listen to her.

On how he joined the kidnapping gang, he said it was Niyi Omosola that introduced him and placed him and other members ( including , Ifeanyi Chukwuleta, 25, from Oguta in Imo State, and Kolawale Alani, 26, from Ekiti State and  three other suspects were still at large) on an oath administered by a native doctor  known as Baba.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Kayode Aderanti,, while paraded the suspect on Wednesday, said the they were arrested after the kidnap of a 62-year-old woman, Kudirat Adeboye, along Eleko Epe expressway by six armed men.

Aderanti said when he received the information, he directed OC SARS, Abba Kyari, to commence investigation to rescue the victim.

He said the gang contacted the victim’s family and demanded N50 million but eventually accepted N3 million ransom 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. Meanwhile,the operatives who were already  deployed to the area pursued them  and one of the kidnappers, Niyi Omosola, sustained gunshot injuries.

He said it was Omosola that took operatives to a forest along Epe road where the victim was rescued. Omosola later died from the gunshot injuries he sustained.

Aderanti said arms such as one double barrel pistol, two expended cartridges and six live cartridges were recovered from the three suspects arrested.
