Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command on Monday,arrested two siblings and one other for an alleged attempt to kidnap their former employer.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this on Wednesday in a statement. She said the suspects, Oyeleke Blessing, David Oyeleke and Kabiru Oniyitan, were apprehended following a report made at the Onipanu divisional police headquarters.
The PPRO said they were arrested following a complaint filed by their boss, Makinde Oluwatoyin. The victim had received a phone call from an anonymous caller who threatened to kidnap his son from school and wipe out his family if he failed to pay the sum of N2m to a specific bank account within three days.
According to Oyeyemi, the employer stated further that the caller described his children’s school and his house, which suggested that he had been under their surveillance for some time. The police swung into action and was able to trace Blessing’s hideout which led to the arrest of two of the accomplices while one is currently at large.
