“We located him and asked him to tell the kidnappers the ransom had been paid. We thought they would show up to collect the cash (₦4 million), but instead, they sent another POS account to receive the money. That location was Ijanikin.”
“Immediately, I tracked the second POS lady and told her to inform them the money had been received. Unfortunately for the kidnappers, they used their personal phone to call the POS lady. We tracked them to a bushy area in Ijanikin. Victim rescued, kidnappers arrested.”
He further revealed that the oldest kidnapper was just 30 years old and warned Nigerians to be careful of the vehicles they enter, stating that the victim had boarded a Sienna from Lekki heading toward Oshodi before blacking out.
