In the last three months, Gadilo Agbajo, an Arogbo, Ondo State indigene, has been involved in three kidnaps, which netted the gang he led N14.8m in total.

But when Agbajo and eight other members of the gang were brought before journalists at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters following their arrest, the explanation he gave for his life of crime surprised many.

According to Agbajo, whom the gang members said was responsible for sharing the ransom money in the bush anytime the families of their victims paid, he was not a selfish criminal.

Agbajo explained that he used his criminal activities to help his friends.



“When some of my people who did not have job could not pay their house rents, they came to meet me for help.

“I normally told them that they should not worry and that I would find a way to help them and they could help me as well. My way of helping them is getting them involved in the kidnapping business rather than for them to roam the streets without work.”

In July 2016, Saturday PUNCH learnt that Agbajo’s gang kidnapped a pastor of a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at Santos bus stop in Isawo, Ikorodu, Lagos State, Olukayode Bajomo, on a Sunday morning just before the weekly service.

A witness of the abduction said the kidnappers wore attractive clothes as if they had come for the church service.

The witness said, “The pastor came earlier around 7am to prepare for a workers’ meeting. The shocking thing was that the men walked in quietly like new members.

“They dressed like people who had come to church. They had Bibles with them. They did not shoot or display any weapon. It was when they got to the pastor that they brought out their guns and ordered him to come with them.”

The gang also kidnapped Otunba Lateef Ogunfowora, who owns Lat Ogun Petroleum in Ijebu Ode.

Agbajo said, “When I was introduced to kidnapping by Blessing Bamidele, the first person we kidnapped was a white man. After that, Bamidele always called me anytime he had an operation.

“We later kidnapped a man in Ijebu Ode, one at Epe and another at Gberigbe side. We got N6m from one, N5m from another and N3.8m from the third victim.
