Operatives
of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Intelligence Response Team (IRT) have
arrested three more suspects connected with the abduction of the Oniba of Iba
in Lagos, Oba Goriola Oseni.
The
monarch spent 21 days in the kidnappers’ den before he was released after the
payment of N15.1 million ransom.
The
suspects are: Yeris Fresh 45, Anthony Ebidaear, 51 and Keremeni Mode, 40.
It
was gathered that the suspects, who furnished the kidnappers with information
on the monarch, collected N800,000 as their share of the money allegedly
collected as ransom.
Their
arrest was sequel to the clampdown on the gang’s leader identified as Buba
Furejo (a.k.a General Duba)
and his second-in -command who were earlier paraded by security operatives.
It
was also learnt that apart from providing information to aid the monarch’s
abduction, the three suspects also provided surveillance on the waterways,
hinting the kidnappers on activities of security operatives.
Police
Commissioner Fatai Owoseni said the suspects will be charged to court at the
completion of investigation.
Also
yesterday, the police paraded ‘Prophet’ David Ifunaya for allegedly
abducting a teenager.
