How Pastors And Kidnappers Were Arrested In Ekiti by Katowice: 11:34pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
The Ekiti State Police Command and the
Department of State Service have arrested a self
acclaimed Pastor, Mr Babatunde Balogun, two
women and 10 others in connection with
kidnapping in the state.
The security agencies also declared two siblings:
Kenneth and Jonathan Ozoh, as well as one
Kehinde Adeleye and Sunday Ogunleye as part of
the suspected kidnap syndicates terrorising
Ekiti residents in the last three months.
The quartet were accused of being behind the
kidnap of a lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, Dr Femi Omisore, a priest
with Ekiti Catholic Diocese, Rev Father
Emmanuel Akingbade, among other victims that
were recently kidnapped within the State .
Specifically, Balogun was accused of giving
spiritual counseling to the suspects and sharing
from the proceeds of the kidnappings.
While parading the suspects in Ado Ekiti on
Monday, an event attended by Governor
Ayodele Fayose, the DSS State Director, Mr Duke
Fubara and the Police Commissioner, Mr Etop
James, said the suspects in statements made had
confessed about their involvements in the
crime.
Fubara added that, one Gbenga David, a.k.a
Oruma, who was accosted by his men in Osun
State during investigation and shot while
making efforts to escape was receiving
treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
He said the efforts became fruitful, following
synergy between the DSS and the police to rid
the State of crimes and miscreants.
Fubara said, “We could all attest to the fact that
the kidnappers terrorised the State from the
first week of May this year. Their activities
brought a lot of trauma to the people.
“Though, some of the victims have been
released, but we did not give in. We did
investigation and we increased our network and
the result is what you are seeing today.
“What we found with the composition of these
suspects was that some of them were members
of the inmates that escaped during the
November 30, 2014 jailbreak in Ekiti.”
Also speaking, the CP said the anti-kidnapping
Squad of the Command was working round the
clock to prevent resurgence of kidnapping in the
State.
Fayose appealed to opposition to stop
politicising kidnapping and other criminal acts,
saying “It is a collective fight. We have to fight
this together, so that all of us can sleep with two
eyes closed.”
The Governor, who lauded the security agencies’
efforts lamented that Ekiti had been in turmoil
since last year’s jailbreak in Ado Ekiti, urging
the security operatives to step up efforts on the
need to bring the escapees back to prison.
“Ekiti has been under great torment since last
year’s jailbreak incident. But we want you to
beam your searchlights on the neighbouring
States like Delta, Osun and Ondo States because
we had the trace that people used to come from
outside to train our people here in kidnapping
and make use of them.
“If you study this very well, you will understand
that the networks have been widened and we
have to do everything to break it,” Fayose
added. (Punchng) |

I really think its time we started looking at the lives of these so called pastors and clerics who have made crime their gospel. Pastor this, pastor that, stories of grievous atrocities emerges each day which so called die hard unbelievers will be scared to be involved in but have turned to bread and butter for these pastors. Committing crimes in the name of God and blaming it on the devil when caught. |
