EKITI STATE POLICE COMMAND
CASE OF CONSPIRACY, KIDNAPPING, ARMED ROBBERY, MURDER, POSSESSION OF WEEDS SUSPECTED TO BE INDIAN HEMP AND UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION:
It should be noted that the Command, under the leadership of *CP TUNDE MOBAYO,* is in the business of ensuring the security of lives and properties of the good people of Ekiti State as well as creating an enabling environment where everybody moves about their lawful businesses without any form of apprehension.
It would be recalled that the Command, on Thursday 4th November, 2021, informed you about a success recorded during a joint operation of the Police and other Security agencies including the Amotekun Corp and the local hunters during which one of the kidnappers was killed by the security operatives while the victims were rescued. Today, we are glad to keep you abreast again on a related breakthrough made by the Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Command.
On 06/11/2021 at about 16:00hrs, the Command's Rapid Response Squad(RRS), based on a thorough investigation, arrested one *Ogunremi Bunmi* 'm', the son of Late Chief Ogunremi Sesan of Ado-Ekiti and one *Ige Adu* 'm' of Ikere-Ekiti for multiple kidnappings and other heinous crimes. During interrogation, the suspects confessed to be responsible for the kidnapping of one Olowo Bolaji 'm' in Ipoti-Ekiti on 29/01/2020. They also confessed to have kidnapped one Alhaji Suleiman Akinbami, a petrol dealer, who was kidnapped on 10/01/2021 in Ado-Ekiti. The suspects stated that they kidnapped one Mrs Olalusi Dapo, the wife of a former Ekiti State Surveyor General sometime this year. The suspect further confessed that their syndicate kidnapped Late Chief Abiodun Ajayi earlier this year in Ado-Ekiti who jumped from their vehicle but later died in the hospital during treatment due to the injuries he sustained. The suspects said they usually keep their victims in his father's house, one Late Chief Bafon, located at Water Works, Ado-Ekiti and sometimes move them to Ayere Forest in Kogi State before demanding for ransom. They mentioned one Banji Akeem a.k.a Oro who was earlier arrested by the RRS operatives for the offence of armed robbery and still in RRS custody. They also mentioned one Samuel a.k.a Samuel Ebira, Jimoh Dele a.k.a Dele Petim, Dayo a.k.a Dayo Igwe and Johnson a.k.a Yellow Okada who are presently at large as other members of their gang. Concerted effort led to the arrest of one Taiwo Fayoke 'f' who confessed to be their food supplier whenever victims are held hostage. Items recovered are:
Five locally made barrel guns
One Toyota Corolla Car
Thirteen rounds of live cartridges.
Two locally made double barrel guns.
While effort is ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects, *the Command declares a reward of Five Million Naira Naira(5,000,000:00) for anyone who supplies credible information concerning the whereabouts of the fleeing suspects to the following GSM numbers 09064050086 / 07031620186 / 08062335577*
The Command appreciates the good spirited members of the public as well as the various security agencies whose cooperation and supports have always helped the Police.
The Command also acknowledge the unwavering support of the government of Ekiti State under the leadership of His Excellency, *DR JOHN KAYODE FAYEMI.*
The Command, while assuring members of the public that those paraded today shall be charged to Court for prosecution as soon as possible, implores everyone to be security conscious and avoid acts that could jeopardize the efforts of the government and the security operatives
