The two kidnappers of Chief Olu Fale, Abdullahi Usman and Babawuro Kato, confessed to their crime saying they did it to make money to celebrate Salah.
While answering questions from journalists at a press conference in the Department of State Security Service (DSS) Headquarters in Abuja on Monday, two suspected kidnappers of Chief Olu Falae, Abdullahi Usman and Babawuro Kato, confessed to their crime saying they did it to have money to celebrate Salah.
Abdullahi Usman initiated the plan for money to celebrate Salah, but regretted that one of his other accomplices made away with the N5million random paid by the family Falae’s release.
Babawuro Kato, drove the victim on motorcycle from one location to another, also corroborated these statements but said that he did not know the identity of the captive and he was not part of the abduction.
Abdullahi Garba, speaking on behalf of the DSS, said that their investigation has revealed that the abductors were merely criminals, and that the kidnapping was not because of Falae’s political status or his prominence in the Yoruba community as speculated by some.
He maintained that the abductors collected a N5 million ransom and were arrested at Zebra Hotel along Ganaja Road, Lokoja in Kogi State.
