The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two dumb crooks, who went to Sterling bank Ketu branch, to cash N9 million ransom.
The two suspects, Lucky Momodu and Saheed Adekoya, described as the latest clowns in town, were said to have allowed the kidnapped victim to go home immediately they received bank alert that his worried family members had paid the ransom into a designated account given to them by the kidnappers.
Days after the victim, Chief Michael Okigbo was allowed to go, the kidnappers had waltzed into Ketu branch of the Sterling bank to cash the money and were promptly surrounded by policemen.
It was gathered that Okigbo was kidnapped at Asaba, Delta State, while he was driving away from a party he had just attended.
He was kidnapped on the way and bundled to the kidnappers’ hideout in Asaba.
The kidnappers were said to have scared the living daylight out of the man, who promptly gave them the contact phone numbers of his family.
Negotiation for Okigbo’s released started and the ransom was finally agreed at N9 million.
It was gathered that immediately Okigbo was released, he alerted the police, which alerted the bank officials.
A red alert was placed the bank account. As soon as Adekoya came to cash the money, he was arrested. It was through him that Momodu was arrested, but police are still hunting for a third kidnapper.
Adekoya however insisted that he was not part of those who kidnapped Okigbo.
According to him, Momodu called him some days ago, saying that he was about to embark on a new business and needed a current account to deposit some millions into.
Adekoya, who claimed that he was in Lagos, when Momodu called him from Delta State, said he had given his bank account details to Momodu, unaware the guy was into nefarious activities.
He further explained that he went to cash the money, on Momodu’s instruction, when policemen arrested him at the bank.
The account number is 27469756910 and the name of the holder is Supreme Aluminium and Steel Company, belonging to Adekoya.
It was also gathered that the arrest of the kidnappers would not have been possible, but for the intervention of the Divisional Police Officer(DPO) of Ketu Police Station, a Superintendent of Police(SP) Mr. Umaro Justine, who strategized with his men, the victim’s family and bank officials on how to nab the suspects.
