'I kidnapped my Oga’s son because he refused to settle me' - Suspect

A 20-year-old suspect, Blessing Emmanuel, said on Monday in Lagos that he kidnapped his boss’ son for not settling him after apprenticeship.

Chinobi Sabestine and Emmanuel were arrested by the police for allegedly abducting a 10-year-old boy.

It was reported that the suspects were apprehended in a bank in the Oyingbo area of the state as they were about withdrawing the ransom paid by the boy’s family into an account.
Emmanuel, who claimed to be a trader at the Mandilas Market, Lagos Island, claimed that he
abducted the 10-year-old in the Alafia area of Orile-Iganmu, on his way to school, as a way of paying his master back for refusing to settle him after working for him for four years.

The suspect further explained that he kept the young boy in his hotel room for four days, until he was arrested on Apapa Road.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, while briefing newsmen on the arrest, said the suspect, along with one other, kidnapped the 10-year-old boy.

He said after kidnapping their victim, the suspects demanded N5m as ransom to release the boy.
