BENIN CITY – A seven-year –old son of the Executive Chairman of Ovia South West Local Government Area, Hon. Monday Aighobahi, has been kidnapped, just as three policemen were yesterday arrested along with 12 suspected kidnappers in Benin City. The three policemen, according to the state Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Danlami Yar’ Adua, were nabbed when a team of policemen trailed a syndicate of suspected kidnappers who he disclosed, were at the verge of abducting their victims in Benin City. Although the Compol did not parade the three policemen-tuned kidnappers before newsmen, other suspects alleged to be members of the syndicates were paraded in chains. Also, the little child identified as Master Etinosa Aighobahi, The NIGERIAN OBSERVER gathered, was abducted at his school gate about 7:40 a.m yesterday by four unidentified gunmen who later shot sporadically into the air to scare away possible danger as they took away their victim to a yet-to-be know hide-out. The ugly incident, it was further gathered, triggered confusion and chaos in the school premises as parents who went there to drop their wards scampered for safety, apparently to avoid being hit by stray bullets of the gangsters. Though kidnapping has become rampant in recent times in Benin City, Master Etinosa Aighobahi, The NIGERIAN OBSERVER investigation revealed, is the youngest victim of the criminal trend in the state. Recently, the biological father of a law-maker in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Patrick Aisowieren Monday Osayande of Big-Joe Motors, Mr. Kennedy Okoeguale of Buvel Oil, and many others were similarly abducted in Benin City with ransom running into millions of naira allegedly paid to regain their freedom. While confirming the abduction, the state Police Commissioner, Alhaji Danlami Yar’ Adua maintained that police had begun a clampdown on kidnappers in the state as those arrested would be charged to court upon police investigation.

Watin no go happen for Nigeria,

This is the hand work of OBJ before OBJ there was nothing like kidnapping before him, his tenure exposed the youths to arms during past elections, those arms were never recovered now see where we are today. They should recruit the military if the police cant handle d situation police men are always going to the press instead of them to map out strategies such as surveilance intelligence. This situation is very easy to control. If it were America they would have deployed their female officers as prostitutes in the dark areas, because after these guys collect their monies, na ashawo body them go still spend am put. Crime can be stoped in Nigeria before it occurs if the will is there, those old senior officers in the police headquaters have nothing to offer. Upon all their training, their eyes are into contracts and budgets.

For the fact that it's an EXECUTIVE chairman's son, there is no problem.
