Police avert kidnap attempt on Lagos businessman
The Lagos State Police Command has averted an attempt to kidnap a Lagos businessman, Oseni Agbamu Omolewa by a member of kidnapping syndicate in the metropolis.
Detectives attached to Lion Building Police Division of the command arrested a suspected member of the syndicate, which specialized in threatening members of the public with text messages of kidnap, with the aim of extorting them.
Luck, according to the Police, ran out on the suspect identified as Abiodun Joshua, after he demanded N37 million from one of his targets, Oseni Agbamu Omolewa, to prevent her from being kidnapped.
“During interrogation, the suspect, who is an indigene of Osun State, confessed to the crime. Investigation is ongoing for possible arrest of his accomplices,” she said.
