The two suspected kidnappers after they were caught
Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corp (LNSC) yesterday foiled kidnap
attempt of a two-year-old boy, Darasimi Tijani, who was allegedly lured
by suspected kidnappers with N50.
According to reports by NewTelegraph, the incident occurred at No
90, Oyewole Road, Orile-Agege, about 9a.m. when the kidnappers realised
that Darasim’s guardian, Mrs. Fathimo Balogun, went in to attend to the
need of other kids.
The suspected kidnappers were apprehended after residents raised
alarm. The swift intervention of the LNSC officers saved the suspects
from being lynched while the boy, his mother, Mrs. Wasilat Tijani, and
the guardian were taken to LNSC station at Orile-Agege LCDA.
The Chairman of LNSC, Mr. Israel Ajao, who spoke through the Public
Relations Officer of the agency, Mr Afolabi Olayiwola, confirmed the
arrest of the suspects.
He said: “LNSC, at exactly 9.30a.m., upon an intelligence
information received from the public, arrested two kidnappers at No 90,
Oyewole Road, Orile-Agege who lured the little boy, Darasimi Tijani (two
years old), with N50 note, when they realised that the guardian,
Fathimo Balogun, quickly went in to attend to the needs of other kids.
“Passer-by raised the alarm and the LNSC officers moved to
arrest and save the two kidnappers from being lynched by the public. We
rescued the boy and the mother, Wasilat Tijani, with the guardian to our
station at Orile-Agege LCDA along with the kidnappers.”
According to Ajao, a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police,
preliminary investigation by the agency revealed that one of the
suspects speaks Hausa while the other pretends as mad man.
He added: “Our primary investigation revealed that one of the
suspects is a Hausa man by name Muritala Lado, who claimed to be a
tailor, the second suspect pretended to be a mad man but later mentioned
his name as Bassey. They all confessed to have committed the crime.
They have all been moved to the Agency Headquarters at Bolade Oshodi for
necessary further action.”
