I Also Abducted Magodo Children – Kidnapper of Orekoya Kids

The nanny, Mary Akinloye, who kidnapped three children in the Surulere area of Lagos State on Wednesday, has confessed to kidnapping two kids (Raphael and Michael Esharegan) from the Magodo area of the state last year.
Mary Akinloye was arrested on Wednesday evening in the Shasha area of Lagos State by police, after she was tracked by “technological tools.”
She said her team, which consisted of her brother-in-law, sister-in-law, her husband and herself, collected N2 million for the Magodo kidnap, which occurred in December, last year.
She had been employed as a maid by the Magodo couple through the same OLX, an online sales portal.
The suspect added that after the ransom was paid, she was given N30,000 as her own share.
She revealed that her real name was not Mary Akinloye and she was not 23-year-old.
Speaking in Yoruba, she begged the Orekoya family to forgive her.
“It was not my fault, Mrs Orekoya. You were very nice to me and you took care of me. I was pushed to do it,” she said.
The suspect has four children.
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, also confirmed this on Thursday, while speaking on a live Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, Kenneth Nwosu, said Akinloye was arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), while a manhunt was on-going to apprehend other fleeing accomplices of the house help.
