The suspects; Agbe Simeon, Messiah Nicky, Oladapo Dolapo and Yetunde Shonola were arrested at Orile Imo village, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state after they kidnapped Usman who withheld a larger percentage of their proceeds of crime.

The suspects had illegally obtained N26,437,950 from their victim who is yet to be identified. Usman reportedly released N2,200,000 which amounts to 91.7% of the total crime proceed to his colleagues who later kidnapped him as pay back.

According to a statement released on Thursday, by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the 4 aggrieved members of the gang lured Usman to a herbalist home at Orile-Imo on December 22, 2022, where they held him hostage, threatening to kill him if he refused to give them their complete share of the money.

Following a tip off, operatives of Owode Egba division stormed the area where they rescued Usman and arrested the others on Monday.

The statement added;

"Upon the information, the DPO, Owode-Egba division, CSP Popoola Olasunkanmi, quickly mobilised his men and stormed the area, where four of the abductors were apprehended while two others escaped.

"Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and the suspects belong to an Internet fraud syndicate, and they recently swindled somebody whose identity is not yet known out of the sum of N26,437,950, but the victim only gave the sum of N2,200,000 to his colleagues, claiming that the money had not been paid completely by their client.

"This infuriated his colleagues, who then lured him to an herbalist home at Orile-Imo and held him hostage there since Thursday, December 22, 2022, with the threat to kill him if he refused to give them their complete share.

"But while they were there, information got to the police, who moved in, rescued the victim and apprehended four of the abductors, while others escaped.ÔÇØ

Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, had directed that the suspects be transferred to the anti-kidnapping unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and possible prosecution.
