The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, while parading the suspects before journalist noted that on March 7, at about 2am, he got a call that some kidnappers were putting up in D2 Hotel located at Ojodu Berger, Lagos, and that they were planning to abduct a businessman in Magodo Estate.
“Later I came to Lagos and joined another gang of kidnappers in Ajah. We went to Ajah to kidnap a victim, but the operation failed because the man shouted and we narrowly escaped being caught. We were arrested in a hotel in Ojodu while planning how to kidnap a businessman,’’ he stated.
While leaping to his defense, one of the suspects identified as Ekuno said he was not involved in the various kidnapping operations. He further added that he only gave out information of the victim to the gang.
