The Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun, has arrested a scavenger, whose identity has not been revealed, for allegedly kidnapping an eight-year-old girl in Akure, the state capital.

The suspect allegedly hit the victim with a charm and put her in a sack but was arrested by the residents of the area while trying to escape.

The state Amotekun Commander , Adetunji Adeleye, while speaking on the incident on Friday, said the suspect pretended to be a scavenger to carry out the dastardly act.

The commander said the suspect would be charged to court after the completion of an investigation into the matter.

Adeleye said, “The suspect pretended to be a scavenger picking rubbles, but luckily, the grandmother of the child heard the cry of the girl and when they looked round, they saw somebody stepping away with the child inside a sack.

“So, when they raised the alarm, he attacked them with different objects including a burning firewood he picked from a woman cooking nearby, but they were able to quickly alert Amotekun operatives and he was arrested.

“Upon interrogation, we discovered that he is actually a kidnapper and he confessed that he has been in the trade for a while. Investigation continues on his case before we would finally hand him over to the court.


“We would like to know his sponsors, those who are his bosses, what he does with the previous ones he had successfully taken away before his arrest today.”

Speaking, the father of the victim, simply identified as James, said the cry of the victim attracted his mother who raised the alarm.

He said, “My little daughter who is eight years old came out, that she wants to use the toilet and I asked her to go to the backyard to do that. Her incessant cries attracted my mother’s attention who went to the backyard and confirmed that a man whom we mistook for a scavenger had kidnapped and hidden her inside a sac bag.

“It was my mother’s shout for help that made me went to check what was really going on and when I got there he had hit my mother with a heavy wood on her chest while she was struggling to rescue my child from him.

“The kidnapper continued to attack whoever attempts to rescue my child but I held on to him, preventing him from escaping. It was a bike man who saw the scene, that went to alert Amotekun Corps who swiftly arrived the scene and arrested the suspected kidnapper.”

This is wickedness

He doesn’t work alone, Police should patiently interrogate him to know the other members and their sponsors for prosecution.

Naija police will rather take settlement and free the suspects

IYOO....

It's high time kidnappers are given the capital punishment.

ONYE ANWULU!!!

Just imagine the audacity he has to hit a innocent soul with charm. What a wicked person.

I know jungle justice is not good, but some kind news go make you think otherwise.

Why are we so wicked to each other

Insecurity is a big concern in this country and it's high time the govt tackle it seriously.

Sone people are just devils in human flesh

He should be burnt alive jor

.......when they looked round, they saw somebody stepping away with the child inside a sack.
“So, when they raised the alarm, he attacked them with different objects including a burning firewood he picked from a woman cooking nearby

An animal in human skin.
Is he dead yet

Deaths to all kidnappers in our nation

If she is not unconscious, I am skeptical of that story.

So he expected her not to shout or move?

Scavengers needs to start taking their baths and looking clean. That was how 2 years ago they burnt two to death (in Lagos) and claimed they had human skull under the bridge, when they chacked, it was only plastic. I am sure no chame was recoverd in this case.

This is pathetic. May the Almighty watch over our children.

This country is totally finished with no security architecture in place

Kidnapping these days is on the high side

Nobody is safe

Nowhere is secure

But we have all form of security agents

Yet no security

Watch how Nigeria police will use this case to

Cash out big time.

You wan give de parents wey de try survive Hpb this new month

What is the punishment for kidnapping?

I doubt it's stringent enough to deter people.

We are not safe again in this country, No region is safe, the earlier we realize about that i start fighting against it, the better for we all.

What nonsensical evil bombastic element of a demented human.

This is the law of the kidnapper:

“And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.”
— Exodus 21:16 (KJV)

If this is infused and executed after thorough investigation, kidnapping will reduce.[/quote]

This is Sharia

He's not a kidnapper,he is a GBOMO GBOMO,OOO!!!!!

We are glad the baby is safe.


He is lucky this did not happen in Akwa Ibom, they burn people instantly.
