The six men, who allegedly took part in the kidnap of the girls of Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School in Ikorodu, were on Friday remanded at Ikoyi Prisons on the order of an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs O.I. Adelaja, who gave the order, said the accused should be remanded in prison pending advice from the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The accused — Emmanuel Arigidi, 37; Gift Pius, 30; Fred Omoni, 32; Geofrey Owei, 28; Seun Akanji, 33; and Segun James, 29 — are facing a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, kidnap, being armed with offensive weapons and robbery.
Mr G.O. Osuyi, a counsel from the Criminal Investigations Department, Panti, Lagos, said the accused conspired with others still at large on February 25 at Maya under bridge along Ikorodu-Imota Road, to kidnap three girls from the college.
The kidnapped girls are of ages 14 and 15.
