My 2 Wives Know Me As Criminal —Suspect
A 27-year-old suspected kidnapper, Rasheed Adetunji, 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 in Lagos State, western Nigeria.
The Osun
State-born Adetunji also confessed that he loves women a lot that was
why he married two wives at his age and had hoped to marry more before
he was arrested.
He said 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.
He regretted that he would miss his wives and family who he claimed he was kidnapping people for ransom to make them happy.
On
how he joined the kidnapping gang, he said it was Niyi Omosola that
introduced him and placed him and other members of the gang on an oath
administered by a native doctor known as Baba.
Adetunji was among the three suspects paraded by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Kayode Aderanti, on Wednesday.
The
two other suspects are Ifeanyi Chukwuleta, 25, from Oguta in Imo State,
southeast Nigeria, and Kolawale Alani, 26, from Ekiti State, southwest
Nigeria.
Aderanti said the suspects were arrested after
the kidnap of a 62-year-old woman, Kudirat Adeboye, along Eleko Epe
expressway by six armed men.
He said the gang contacted the victim’s family and demanded N50 million.
Aderanti said when he received the information, he directed OC SARS, Abba Kyari, to commence investigation to rescue the victim.
He said the gang 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.
He said operatives who were
deployed to the area pursued them and there was an exchange of gun fire
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.
The suspects confirmed their involvement in the kidnapping and gave various reasons why they joined the gang.
The three other suspects were still at large.
