The police in Ogun State have arrested a 42-year-old ex-convict, Abolaji Alese, and six others for alleged armed robbery and kidnapping of travellers along the Sagamu-Ijebu Ode axis of the state.

The other suspects are Onokrese Jacob, 34; Henry Emmanuel, 34; Joseph Udomah, 42; Abiola Oduyemi, 41; Abbey Emmanuel, 34; and Jimoh Kareem, 39.

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, who paraded the suspect on Friday at the command’s headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, said they were responsible for the kidnap of seven persons between May and September 2024.

Alamutu stated that Alese, the leader of the gang, had been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command on August 28th, 2022, for kidnapping two women in Ibadan and currently has an ongoing charge at the High Court, Ibadan.

He stated that following a discreet investigation into the continuous kidnapping reports, one of the suspects Abiola Oduyemi was arrested in Egbeda, Ibadan, Oyo State, leading to the arrest of others.

Alamutu said: ” On the 16th of May, 2024, at about 8:28 am, this vicious syndicate led by one Azeez Abolaji Alese attacked a woman named Busari Abiola while trying to drive into her premises by her gate in Sagamu, Ogun State. She was subsequently kidnapped and driven away in her unregistered 2009 Ash-colored Corolla. Fortunately, the kidnappers later released her, taking only the vehicle.

” This same Azeez Abolaji Alese, with six other armed men, double-crossed one Adebayo Olabisi, on the 17th of May, 2024, at about 8:10 pm in the Irewon area of Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, and whisked her away in her white Highlander Jeep, with registration number BDG 125 HZ, to an unknown destination.

“Barely three weeks after the first two kidnapping incidents, the same group led by Azeez Abolaji Alese on the 2nd of June, 2024, at about 6 pm, abducted one Omosehin Tanwa from Itamogiri, Ijebu Mushin, Ogun State, taking her to an unknown destination.

“While the Anti-kidnapping team were on their trail, Azeez Abolaji Alese and his kidnapping gang, in a similar pattern, attacked one Segun Adebanjo on the 14th of July, 2024, at about 11 pm and drove him away in his red Toyota Camry.

“The final attack happened on the 5th of September, 2024, at about 7 pm where the same gang gained access into the compound of one Uruakpa Elizabeth, a nurse from Babcock University, after close of work at her gate, pointed a gun at her and took her away in her unregistered red Toyota Camry.

“In the course of the investigation, one Abiola Oduyemi was arrested on the 3rd of October, 2024, and he confessed to his involvement in the series of kidnapping cases recorded in the state and provided valuable information that resulted in the arrest of his other accomplices.

“It should be noted that the said Azeez Alese was earlier arrested on January 14, 2016, for kidnapping an expatriate along Sagamu-Ogijo Road and currently facing charges in court. He was apprehended again by the Oyo State Police Command on August 28th, 2022, for kidnapping two women in Ibadan and currently has an ongoing charge at the High Court, Ibadan.

“Alese was released on bail on April 26th, 2024, but instead of changing his ways, he formed a new gang and resumed kidnapping operations starting from May 16th, 2024, until his eventual arrest by the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of Ogun State Command.”

Items recovered from the suspects include one browning pistol, one helmet jeep registered as AYT88MS, one Toyota Camry car registered as KTU406JL, two school bags, two lunch boxes, one shuttle bag, one Babcock university key holder and criminal charms.

Alamutu noted that investigation had been concluded, and the suspect would soon face prosecution in court.

He advised members of the public to plan their travels carefully and to exercise caution while traveling.
