The prompt intervention of men of the Ogun State Police Command salvaged the life of a four year old boy, Hammed Adeniran, allegedly stolen by three men at Arepo area, in the state.
The three suspects were arrest based on report by the child’s mother, Nimota Adeniran at Warewa police station, thus prompted the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), SP Folake Afeniforo to quickly mobilise her officers to the bus stop where the men were arrested while waiting to board vehicle.
In a release made available to Daily Dispatch by DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, PPRO, Ogun Command, he gave the names of the suspects as Abubakar Saidu, 22 years; Danladi Abdulkarim, 30 years, and Abdullah Idris, 25 years, and that they were arrested on January 24th, 2020.
DSP Oyeyemi noted that the arrest of the suspects followed a complaint by the mother, Nimota Adeniran who reported at the station that she was alerted by one of her neighbours that her son was sighted with three strange men at Arepo bus stop along Lagos Ibadan expressway where they were waiting to board a vehicle to only God knows destination.
“Upon the information, she started looking for her son only to discover that he was no longer where he left him.
“On the strength of the report, the DPO Warewa Division, SP Folake Afeniforo quickly mobilized a team of policemen and raced to the bus stop where the men were said to be waiting to board vehicle.
“On getting there, the three men were met with the child in their possession and were promptly arrested with the help of members of the public.
“On interrogation, the three suspects who claimed to have come from Jigawa State can not give any reasonable account of why the child was seen with them or why they wanted to board commercial bus with the child.’
However, he remarked that the child has reunited with his parents while the suspects are undergoing interrogation.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Kenneth Ebrimson has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence department for discreet investigation and possible prosecution.
The CP therefore advised parents to always take the security and wellbeing of their children serious in order to shield them from those looking for every means to be rich.
