A 28-year-old man, Ikechukwu Daniel, suspected to be a member of a notorious kidnapping gang, has revealed how he and members of his gang were perfecting plans to abduct billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, before he was arrested.

Daniel, who is a native of Imo State but was born and raised in Kaduna State, narrated that they missed him once when he attended a function at Ibadan Oyo State, due to heavy presence of security operatives, but they decided to take a little time and prepare properly for the operation.

Daniel had been arrested by operatives of the Inspector- General of Police Special Intelligence
Response Team, IRT, for allegedly masterminding the April 27, 2016, abduction of Senator Iyabo Anisulowo in Ogun State.

The 70-year-old senator, who represented Ogun West Senatorial District, between 2003 and 2007, was abducted alongside her security guard on her way home from her farm along Igbogilad Road, in Yewa Local Government area of Ogun State.

Senator Iyabo who was also a former Minister of State for Education, was released after 10 days in captivity following pressure by the police on relatives and friends of members of the kidnap gang who were mainly Fulani natives.

Crime Guard gathered during the week that IRT operatives who were acting on a directive by the Acting IGP, Ibrahim Idris, arrested one Mohammed Babuga, who provided information that aided the operatives in trailing Daniel, popularly known as ‘Ike’, to his hideout in Festac Area of Lagos State.

He was subsequently apprehended while negotiating a N4m ransom from relatives of another victim in his gang’s custody. .

Expert in ransom negotiation

During his interview, Daniel confessed that he joined the kidnap gang in 2014, after he was released from Oyo State Prison. He explained that he was arrested in 2012 for hijacking a petroleum tanker truck on the Lagos-Ibadan express way and during his stay in prison; he met one Mohammed Babuga, a Fulani who eventually led him into kidnapping.

He added that he usually negotiated for the gang after the kidnap of their victims because of his expertise in ensuring that the ransoms are collected successfully.

Dainel, further explained that after Senator Iyabo was kidnapped, he was the one who ensured that the woman’s life was spared as her family refused to pay ransom for her release.
