Ogun Police Nab 27-Year-Old Female For kidnapping

Ogun Kidnapper

Mariam Ayila, 27, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for the kidnapping of Sofiat Yusau, a 13-year-old girl. The suspect was arrested on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, following a report lodged at Agbara divisional headquarters by one Ismail Yusau, who reported that, he sent his daughter on errand to Agbara market at about 11:00a.m of the day, only to receive a strange call hours after from an unknown person, who informed him that his daughter had been kidnapped, and that if he didn’t send the sum of N250,000 as ransom, he will never set his eyes on the girl again.

Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Agbara division, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Abiodun Salau, mobilised crack detectives, who embarked on technical and intelligence-based investigation, according to the police report.

“Their efforts yielded positive results when the suspect was traced to her hideout at Atan Ota area, where she was promptly arrested and the little girl was rescued unhurt.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect had earlier kidnapped a young girl at Itele Ota area on December 19, 2022, and ransom paid to her before she released her victim,” the police said.

Lanre Bankole, the Commissioner of Police, has ordered that the suspect be turned over to the state’s Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department’s (SCIID) Anti-Kidnapping Unit for further investigation and prosecution.

President Muhammadu Buhari stated that he has been preoccupied with presidential duties, which explains his absence from the All Progressives Congress campaigns (APC).

He assured the ruling party and its candidates in next year’s elections that he would campaign for the presidential candidate and all party candidates with “full energy and conviction” at all times.
