Three new suspects have been
arrested at a suspected den of kidnappers and ritual killers in the
Obadeyi-Ijaiye end of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
Two of the suspects, a woman and a man, allegedly disguised as
mentally-challenged persons, but the latter was said to have later confessed to
being a member of a kidnap gang. It was learnt that three phones, an Automated Teller Machine card and two loaves of bread, were recovered in a bag found with the woman, while the man, wearing a wig to disguise, had some clothes in his bag. They're both rescued by the police.
It had been reported that the den, an uncompleted building, was uncovered around 8am on Tuesday after a highway sweeper alerted residents to the voice of a distressed woman in a drainage channel in the area. .
It was reported that a crowd
gathered around the two ends of the drains during which five persons came out
through the channel. Two of them were set ablaze by a mob, while three others
were rescued by the police.
Clothes, slippers and bags believed to be effects of abductees, were found in the building. But the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said it was too early to tag the building a kidnappers’ hideout, adding that “scientific investigations” would be carried out on the items.
