A six-man gang of kidnappers, accused of co-opting a police officer in their efforts to kidnap a London-based oil company worker identified simply as Engr. John, was smashed by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Lagos State Police Command during the week.

In their confessional statements, the gang members admitted that they contacted a police officer identified simply as Christian to be part of the kidnapping effort, but unknown to them, Christian simply brought in more policemen from SARS, who pretended to be working with the kidnappers until they were arrested.

Narrating their individual roles in the kidnapping attempt to The Nation, the suspects said they were shocked to the marrow when they discovered that the people they had recruited were police officers who were busy giving details of their kidnapping plans to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Yakubu Alkali through the officer in charge of SARS, Abba Kyari, a Superintendent of Police, on a daily basis.

The peace of the Atissa Kingdom was Thursday night violated by unknown gunmen who abducted the Ebeni Ibe of Atissa Kingdom, HRM, King Godwin Igodo.

Vanguard learnt that the incident occurred between 9.30 and 10pm at the riverside settlement of Obogoro in the Yenagoa local government area of Bayelsa when most of his subjects had retired to bed.

The serene settlement is less than five minutes ride by boat from mainland Yenagoa, the state capital.

The royal father in his seventies witnesses told Saturday Vanguard had also retired to bed when he was unceremoniously whisked away from his residence by the armed gunmen suspected to be commercial kidnappers.

Sources from the area told our correspondent that the natives were jolted from their sleep by sporadic gunfire that rented the air forcing those outside to scamper for safety.
