Four suspects who planned to kidnap the Minister of Education Dr. Sam Egwu and his Labour and Productivity counterpart Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, SAN, had their plans foiled by the State Security Service [SSS], it was revealed yesterday.
Parading the suspected kidnappers to newsmen in Abuja, the service’s Assistant Director, Public Relations Marilyn Ogar said all four suspects who were arrested on September 12 have owned up to the plot and have outlined the strategies they adopted to achieve their objective.

The apprehended men told the SSS that the plan was designed to serve as a forceful way of ending the ongoing strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other university staff unions.

Mrs. Ogar said, “The Minister of education was to be forced to sign an alleged agreement with ASUU. They also planned to demand the sum of N300 million from the Federal Government as ransom for the release of the ministers, even though Egwu was to be eventually killed had the kidnap been successful.”

She said the choice of using students for the operation was to make it look as though it was geared towards ending the protracted faceoff between government and ASUU.
