The Oyo State Police Command has arrested some members of a gang allegedly involved in killings, kidnappings and other atrocities in the Ibarapa area of the state.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mrs Ngozi Onadeko, led other top police officers to parade the suspects and others arrested by men of the command in Ibadan on Wednesday.

The CP said, “On January 2, 2021 at about 7.55pm, some members of a notorious kidnapping syndicate, who have been terrorising members of the public in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State, invaded Subawah Filling Station located along Idere road, Igboora with sophisticated firearms such as AK-49 rifles, cutlasses and other weapons. In the course of the attack, the kidnapper shot sporadically in different directions and in the process, two young girls who were later identified as Bababtunde Omowumi and Toriola Kudirat, were hit by stray bullets and died on the spot.

“The suspects whisked her (owner of the filling station) into the bush, where they brutally murdered her after shooting at her several times in the stomach.

“The three deceased victims were later deposited at a morgue by policemen from Igboora division and upon the conclusion of their preliminary investigation, the case was transferred to the monitoring unit for diligent investigation. No sooner was the case received than a team of crack police detectives swung into action and arrested nine suspects from their hideouts.

“On January 5, 2021, further investigation revealed that one of the prime suspects, Jare Mohammed, inserted his SIM card Number 07086824526 on the Nokia phone belonging to the deceased, Alhaja Adisa Sherifat, which was carted away during the armed robbery operation that claimed her life.”

Apart from the suspects, the CP said the police also arrested the hoodlums who abducted the Chairman of Iganna Local Council Development Area of the state, Mr Jacob Adeleke.

The council boss was kidnapped with his driver on the Okeho-Ado Awaye Road and ransom was collected before he was released.

The CP said the council boss was invited and he identified his abductors.

Onadeko said, “The suspects confessed to kidnapping the Chairman of Iganna LCDA, Adeleke Jacob Olayiwola, along the Iganna/Ado Awaye Road and subsequently dispossessed him of all his personal effects and a ransom sum of N5.5m. The victim vividly identified the suspects who confessed to the crime.”

She identified the suspects as Babuga Mohammadu, Rabiu Mohammadu, Usman Mohammed and Aliyu Mohammed.

Also, Onadeko said the suspected kidnappers of a farmer, Oluwole Agboola, were arrested.

She said the hoodlums invaded Agboola’s farm in the Akinyele Local Governnent Area and took him to an unknown location.

She explained that the hoodlums contacted the family and collected N1,640,000 and yet murdered their victim in the bush.

She identified the suspects as Dahiru Usman, Muhammadu Ahmadu and Ibrahim Mamuda.

Ok

They should be taken to the law court and be persecuted so that it will serve as warning to others who could be planing to commit this kind of crimes.There is a saying that goes like this "no pain no gain" I don't know why most of our youths lack patience in struggling to succeeding in life rather than resolving to kidnapping
