Fresh facts emerged yesterday on how the suspected abductors of the former Minister of State for Education, Senator Iyabo Anisulowo, were arrested by the police. The kingpin of the kidnapping syndicate was actually nabbed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, in an attempt to flee to Dubai in the United Arab Emirate (UAE).
Apart from the kingpin, whose identity was not made public, another suspect was also arrested in connection with the crime. It was gathered that police detectives, acting on tip-off and intelligence, monitored the movement of the syndicate’s ringleader.
This made the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, to inform his Lagos counterpart, Fatai Owoseni, who immediately swung into action, leading to the arrest of the suspect.
A top security source, who was involved in the rescue operation, disclosed that the kingpin was picked up on Tuesday.
He said: “We just monitored his movement as the ringleader of the syndicate and we got intelligence about his movement and that’s how we were able to pick him.
“When we got the information, the CP Ogun informed CP Lagos and the CP Lagos swung into action immediately and the kingpin was arrested.”
The state police commissioner confirmed the arrest of the suspects when he conveyed Anisulowo to the Government House, Abeokuta, to meet with Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Tuesday night. Ali said that the synergy that existed among security agencies resulted in the breakthrough.
The police boss, who stated that investigation was ongoing, added that the suspected kidnappers would be charged to court on completion of investigation.
“We traversed over three states and we continued to look for them and, luckily, they gave up. The pressure was much on them. The helicopter patrol was a different thing entirely and we are grateful to the people of the state because they have the confidence in the security agencies,” he said.
