Ogun Teacher Kidnaps 8-Year-Old Pupil, Blames The Devil
A 29-year-old teacher in Ogun State, Odugbesan Ayodele Samson, has told the police that it was the devil that pushed him to kidnap an eight-year-old pupil.
The teacher was arrested by men of the Ogun State Police Command for kidnapping his former pupil, who the police identified as Rasaq Akeeb on November 4, 2020.
Ogun police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, on Wednesday disclosed that the teacher was arrested following a complaint lodged at Ajuwon divisional police headquarters by the mother of the victim, Fatimat Akeeb.
The mother had reported that her son went to school at Arifanla area of Akute in Ogun State, but did not return home till around 6pm that day.
She was reported to have told the police that she received a phone call from an unknown person, asking her to be ready to pay the sum of N200,000 if she wished to see her son alive.
“She stated further that the caller told her that the boy was brought to him by somebody and he will not release him until the said amount is paid,” it was learnt.
Upon the report, the DPO of Ajuwon division, SP Andrew Akinseye, immediately directed his detectives to embark on a technical and intelligence-based investigation, which Oyeyemi said led to the discovery of the suspect’s hideout.
“On interrogation, he confessed committing the crime but blamed it on the devil,” the PPRO stated.
The Ogun Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has ordered, therefore, that the case be transferred to the anti-kidnapping unit of the state CIID for further investigation and prosecution.
