A 12-year-old schoolboy (name withheld), who was kidnapped two weeks ago, has aided the police to arrest his kidnappers.



The Police in Lagos have arrested two brothers over the kidnap of the boy in Ojokoro area of Lagos two weeks ago.



The suspects, Seun Akinyosoye, 19, and Akin Akiyosoye, 22, allegedly kidnapped the boy while on his way home from school.



The Junior Secondary School 2 pupil, reportedly took shelter in a shop around Centre Road, during a downpour on February 14.



PUNCH METRO gathered that the suspects also took shelter in the same shop and engaged the boy in a discussion.



During the discussion, the boy revealed that his father is a banker with one of the new generation banks and also gave out his mobile phone number to the suspects. The suspects thereafter, took him to their apartment around Jerry Street, Ojokoro, from where they made a call to his father and demanded N4m ransom.



His father was said to have pleaded with the suspects to accept N55,000 and the suspects instructed him to pay the money into an account. Three days after the ransom was paid, the suspects eventually released the schoolboy.



But unknown to the suspects, the boy played a fast one on them by picking Akin’s passport photograph while in the brothers’ apartment.



“He saw the passport at the apartment where he was held hostage. After his release, he gave the passport to his father and identified Akin as one of his kidnappers,”the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Samuel Jinadu, said on Monday.



The photograph was taken to policemen at Owutu Police Station and Akin was invited for questioning.



Jinadu said, “Akin had previously been arrested for street fighting. So, he did not think anything was amiss when his IPO called him to make an appearance at the police station.



“During investigation, he mentioned his brother, Seun, who was subsequently arrested. They confessed to have withdrawn the N55,000 with ATM card from the Ikorodu branch of the bank it was paid into.”



He therefore warned others who had such a sinister motive that there was no hiding place for criminals in the state, adding that the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Yakubu Alkali, had put necessary machinery in place to check crimes.

I am very proud of this boy, and pray that he will continue to receive God’s protection. He did a very good job. What a clever boy? I hope this children would stop bragging about their parent’s status because, it is sometimes not true.

The boy is definitely smarter most most policemen in Nigeria.
If he didn't do the job,the police stood no chance of cracking the case even though the criminals used a bank account that can easily be traced.

Impressive!

Akin is a bad boy.

Yoruba again what is wrong with this  people Always disgracing Nigerians all over the world

You are absolutely silly,  Which tribe started all this kidnapping business?  Well thats not the issue. If a Nigerian commits a crime abroad, he is called a Nigerian Criminal NOT an Igbo criminal or Yoruba criminal. Its affects us all as a Nation not as a tribe.

Daft Kidnappers!

^^^^^
You are only a stupid Igbo boy not knowing his right form his left. You come to Nairaland and all you are capable of doing is to incite ethnic abhorrence. Who are the masters of kidnapping? Who kidnapped a school bus filled with little children for over a week, who destroyed this country in the name of civil triggered by one self ambitious fellow, who destroyed regionality in this country, and cancelled true federalism who…… please I don’t have time for you

No child whose parents are well to do will not be proud of them

The reason why parents must live by good example

Was the money collected from these thieves or the police simply allowed them walk away threatening fire

Smart kid indeed

Lol. Dumb and dumber. Dumb kidnapper, even dumber tribalistic poster.

A Wonder kid, too smart for Naija

if that kid was so smart, why would he give out his father's personal details to complete strangers. I would have skinned him alive. But then, its not possible, 'i no fit beget that kind pikin sef' mcheeeeewwwwwwww.

@ Biscuite

I suspect you. No one should allow you within miles of that boy. You are female by description and male by your pic. where is this confusion coming from?

This news is fake, it was made up and planted in the media. meanwhile that suspect seun, is he osewa by surnmame ?

^lol.
Ban don dey hungry you, abi?

@biscute,

I disagree with u. That boy is dull, we only thank God for sparing him. JSS-2 and yet gave out his fathers details to strangers. shuuuuuuu. One day thieves would knock on the door and he would open door and later pick their mask to identify them.

Parents should teach their children security measure atleast to keep them away from such risks. FBI ko FABIAN ni

Goooooooooooood news boy. You are highly favoured.
Keep that spirit alive in you

Smart, they Nairalander call this  Boy but I add CLEVER for him. But sincerely yours those Kidnappers are Mumu (although the strory revealed dt they din't plan it) if not they would ve escape for eva and enjoy the already cash money for free.
A lesson to others in the Business.

55000 as ransom for kidnapping?!!!!!!!!!! These business has been completely bastardised.

There's nothing extraordinarily smart about the boy! How can you be 12 and be so foolish!?!? You just met these men and you start opening your mouth?!?! That is very smart ohh, Thank God he took the passport though, if not i would have pronounced him world's most foolish son!

i still havent gotten over d fact dat they accepetd 50,000 from 4m,  d guy for send dem recharge card 
they catch d ones dat collect 50,000 but d ones dat collect 5m r getting away
