Police Nabs 28-Yr-Old Female Serial Kidnapper For Allegedly Kidnapping Two Boys

The 28-year-old female serial kidnapper has been apprehended, according to the Lagos State Police, for allegedly abducting two youngsters.

In a statement released on Sunday in Ikeja, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, a spokesman for the police, confirmed the arrest.

According to him, the suspect abducted a boy aged three in Lagos and a boy aged seven in Oyo State.

“On October 27, the suspect kidnapped the three-year-old boy in Lagos State’s Ejigbo neighborhood.

“She was apprehended at Omi-Adio in Ibadan on Nov. 12 with another victim, a seven-year-boy whom she had kidnapped at Olopo Meta in Ibadan.

The three-year-old boy was saved by investigators in Ogun’s Akute neighborhood the same day the suspect was taken into custody, according to Hundeyin.

He stated that investigation showed that the suspect was a neighbor of the boy’s parents from whom she received N55,000 as ransom money to return the child.

“Thereafter, she took the boy to her friend’s shop at Akute and begged the friend to babysit the child while she went shopping, but never returned.

“The suspect traveled to Oyo State after leaving Akute, kidnapped the seven-year-old, demanded and received N20,000 from his parents before she was eventually arrested,” Hundeyin stated.

Hundeyin added that the suspect’s friend with whom she dropped the three-year-old notified the police at Ojodu Abiodun Division in Akute about the abandoned child.

He stated also that the two abducted children were recovered unhurt and had been reunited with their families.
