A pregnant
woman,Eniola Kareem, her husband Paul Kareem and another suspect, Ayoola sodiq
(21) have been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for alleged
kidnap of
one Idris Saheed.
The
21-year-old pregnant woman and her husband aged 23 according to the police,
were arrested last week after the kidnap and payment of N100,000 ransom into
her husband’s account by the parents of the 23-year-old victim.
According to
the woman who claimed to be the mastermind of the kidnap, “ Idris has been
making advances at me and I thought I could milk him without having anything to
do with him.
“One day,
during a telephone conversation with him, he informed me that he was coming to
Mowe and would like to see me since I lived there. I obliged him.
Thereafter, I
muted the idea of kidnapping him because I know how rich his parents are. I
told my husband about how we would kidnap him and tie him with a rope . I told
him that when he comes to the house, I will do anything he wants . I planned
the kidnap with my husband and his friend Sodiq and we demanded N100,000 from
his parents before we released him.”
On his part,
Mr.Paul said: “I planned it with my wife who I met in a club where I dance and
we started dating . The person we kidnapped told my wife that he was coming to
the house, thinking she was still single and that was what prompted the kidnap.
We did not harm him or use any ammunition, it was a docile operation.
The boy is
gentle and cooperated with us . My wife told me that the boy is from a very
wealthy home and that his father is a multi-millionaire but we only requested
for N100,000 and we were paid three days later.. We are not real kidnappers and
we have not done this before .
Immediately he
entered the house to see my wife, we pounced on him and tied him to a chair and
demanded that he should call his parents and tell them that he had been
kidnapped and needed a sum of N100,000 to be released.”
Speaking, the
third suspect, Ayooala sodiq, said ‘’Paul is my friend .I met him at a club at
Mowe Ibafo where he was a dancer.
There he
introduced me to this business and told me how he was planning to kidnap the
victim. He called me and told me about his plan of kidnapping a young boy with
his wife .
She called the
boy and when he came to the house, they pounced on him and told him to sit on
the floor . After that , they called his parents and informed them of the
kidnap demanding that they pay N100,000 to her husbands account . After the
kidnap , I was given N30,000 while Paul took N40,000 and gave the left over
which is N30,000 to his wife.
The police
tracked me and arrested me after they already arrested Paul and his pregnant
wife and since then , I’ ve been in police custody.
The suspects
according to the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmos
would be charged to court.
