Ondo Police Nab Three Over Kidnap of AAUA Staff

The Ondo state police command has arrested three suspected kidnappers over the abduction of a staff member of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Mr. Omoniyi Eleyinmi.

Eleyinmi, who was seized from his home along the Akungba–Supare Akoko road last Sunday, regained his freedom on Sunday after an undisclosed ransom was reportedly paid.

The suspects were caught on video in a forest near Ago Panu, between Oba Akoko and Owo when sharing the ransom money.

Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, Olushola Ayanlade, confirmed the arrests in a statement, adding that the suspects are undergoing interrogation and profiling.

He said Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal, has directed that the suspects and recovered exhibits be handed over to the Anti-Kidnapping Squad for a discreet investigation.
