Men of Oyo State police command have rescued a scientist with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Dr. Elliot Kulakow, an American citizen from kidnappers unhurt.

He was rescued along with a Nigerian citizen, Latifat Togunde, a member of staff of IITA, both of whom were kidnapped on March 14, 2019, at about 5:20 p.m.

Three suspects, however, have been arrested in connection with the incident. They are Mohammed Isah, 25, Ishaka Mohammed, 27 and Adamu Ibrahim, 20. They were paraded before journalists in Ibadan on Friday. Exhibits said to have been recovered from them included tree expended shells of AK 47 ammunition.

Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Shina Olukolu, said Kulakow and Togunde were forcefully taken by gunmen while on their farm at Oderu village, via Elekuru, Moniya, Ibadan, which is approximately 25 kilometers away from headquarters of IITA.

He explained that an Assistant Security Officer of IITA had reported the case to the police on the same day, the victims were kidnapped, saying: “In the course, of taking the victims away, one Rafuliu Adebayo was shot in the neck by the armed men, who happened to be with the victims when the incident occurred and, he later died at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan while on treatment.

“On the receipt of this information, the men of Anti-Kidnapping Squad led by Olawale Tiamiyu, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), swung into action and this led to the arrest of the duo of one Mohammed Isha and Adamu Ibrahim. Mohammed Isah happened to be a security guard and errand boy to Elliot Kukakow at his private farm.

“Following a diligent investigation, Mohammed Isah confessed to having masterminded the kidnapping through the help of Ishaka Mohammed, who was later arrested in his hideout on March 29, 2019, at Ido Local Government of Oyo State, while attempting to escape to Birnin-Kebbi in Kebbi State.

“These victims were later rescued unhurt while the investigation is still on to arrest other fleeing suspects.”

The three were among the 16 suspects arrested in the state over alleged offenses ranging from armed robbery, kidnapping, cultism, and murder.

We're in serious trouble in this country but we don't know it yet.

As a fatalist, I feel no fear at all. But I see it coming. I see it coming. Be prepared y'all.

Lucky guy wonder why it took them so long to mine his skull, maybe the baba was devising new methods of mining white skull.

I guess it's important to note that at the moment Nigeria is not safe for stranger from the Western World no need pretending about this any longer. We read what happened to British citizen in Kaduna few days back, the Nigeria American Soldier, this one now and lot more.


The security system is dead need iron hands to fix it and it's only Buhari who is the president who can do it now as the sitting president.

These herdmen kidnappers are spreading everywhere.

Hmm the waste side people just dey make front page back to back for the wrong reasons today.
First was the grave skull explorers and miners in the infamous ogun state, now ibadan cones with this.. .
Anyway thank God he was rescued, not everyone is so lucky, who knows how much a Caucasian skull could sell for at the black market. ..

At least his skull is still intact... Lol
