More facts emerged,
Monday, as the Oyo State Police Command paraded three suspects alleged to have
been involved in the kidnap of Mrs. Titilayo Oluwole Rotimi, wife of the former
Governor of Western State last year.
While parading three of the suspects at the State
Police Command, Eleyele, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Mbu
Joseph Mbu said the suspects were arrested in Ogun State.
This came as the prime suspect told newsmen that
they were paid the ransom of N13million before Mrs. Oluwole Rotimi was
released.
According to the suspect who identified himself as
Godwin Mfon from Akwa Ibom State, “We collected N13 million. I collected
N2.5million. I used N1.1million to settle my debt and used the remaining
change to buy a navy blue Honda Accord car with registration number LAGOS LSR
446 BB”.
Mfon who claimed to be a graduate of a university
in Calabar, stated further that his mistress was instrumental to his arrest.
Asked how he delved into the criminal act, he said
it was frustration that led him into it. “I contested election for a local
government councillor in Ward 2, Akwa Ibom, but I was defeated. It was then my
friends invited me to Lagos where they introduced me to kidnapping.”
The second suspect, Johnson Kingsley also confessed
that he took part in the kidnapping, saying he got N2million from the
heinous crime.
However, there was heated argument between two of the
suspects, Kingsley and Akiniyere Sunday, an Okada rider who claimed not
to know anything about the incident.
He said, “When they were coming, Tehir Nissan car had a fault and they asked me where to get a mechanic. I told them and I used my Okada to convey them not knowing they were kidnappers.
He said, “When they were coming, Tehir Nissan car had a fault and they asked me where to get a mechanic. I told them and I used my Okada to convey them not knowing they were kidnappers.
But, other suspects insisted that he was lying
adding that they used his house as relaxation point.
