Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Operatives of the Ogun State police have arrested one Onoriode Augustine, for allegedly kidnapping minors in Ijebu-Ode local government area of the state.<\/p>\n

The suspect, aged 33, was paraded on Friday at the command\u2019s headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state capital.<\/p>\n

Addressing newsmen, the Commissioner, Abiodun Amalutu, stated that although Augustine had been apprehended, another suspect identified as Akpan, was still at large.<\/p>\n

Alamutu noted that the suspect on interrogation confessed to the abductions of over ten children who were subsequently returned to their families after ransoms were paid.<\/p>\n

According to the Commissioner, the suspect also orchestrated the abductions that occurred in Ijebu Ode, where one Adeogun Oluwasegun and Jonathan Favour were kidnapped.<\/p>\n

Abiodun said, \u201cThe State has largely remained peaceful, with the latest arrests of one Onoriode Augustine, a 33-year-old man, while the suspect named Akpan has been on the run. They specifically target children for kidnapping.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince they began this illegal activity, they have taken more than ten children, who were subsequently returned to their families after ransoms were paid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also informed the police that they orchestrated the abductions that occurred in Ijebu Ode, where Adeogun Oluwasegun and Jonathan Favour were kidnapped using similar deceptive tactics, such as pretending to rent a battery and seeking to lease an apartment on September 17th and 22nd.\u201d<\/p>\n
