Lagos Police Uncover Kidnappers’ Den In Ogun State
The Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Police Command on
Friday discovered another kidnappers’ den at Ire Akari Crescent,
Pipeline, Ajuwon Akute, Ogun State.
This discovery is coming less than two weeks after a kidnappers den was uncovered in Ogun state where a boy who was kidnapped for alleged rituals was rescued soaked in blood.
The fenced bungalow was marked by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad,
Lagos State Police with an inscription boldly written in red, ‘Armed
robbers/ Kidnappers/ murderers’ den. Please keep off, SARS, Ikeja’.
The inscription on the gates added to the puzzle of residents, but
they later got to know that the remains of a missing woman and her
daughter were exhumed from the structure by men of Lagos State SARS.
PUNCH Metro learnt that a suspected kidnapper, Alhaji Olatunde Azeez who allegedly killed an ex-customs officer and her adopted 10-year-old daughter
over possession of her properties led the SARS operatives to the
building. The suspect was also said to have confessed to be the owner of
the building.
It was further learnt that the ex-customs officer, Angela Kery, and
the young girl, simply identified as Obiagulum, had been declared
missing from home since May 10.
It was learnt that after a series of investigations which led to the
arrest of Azeez, the suspect confessed to have killed the missing woman
and her daughter and buried them in the structure.
Many residents in the area said they had never met the owner of the
structure, adding that the gates of the compound were always locked.
A landlord in the area, who craved anonymity, said, “We never knew
who the owner of the house was. It was usually locked and I have yet to
observe any form of human presence. Now it is shocking to realize that
it is a kidnappers’ den. That means all of us are not safe.
“We learnt that the victims had been buried in the sitting room. They
said ritual killers had killed a woman and her daughter and buried
them.”
Another resident, who identified herself simply as Mrs. Adedotun,
claimed that the suspect owned a hospital and a petrol station in other
areas of Lagos and Ogun states.
“I heard he is also called Doctor because he runs a hospital. Some
people call him Alhaji. He scarcely comes to stay in the house. We never
knew it was because he had buried two human beings in his compound,”
she noted.
The Lagos State Police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, said she would
call our correspondent back, which she had yet to do as of the time of
going to press.
But the acting Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Police Command, Abimbola Opeyemi, confirmed the incident.
He said, “Actually, it is not our case. The case belongs to the SARS
of the Lagos State Police command. But we brought our men from Ajuwon to
ensure that people in the area do not burn the structure. They are
still patrolling the area as I speak to you.”
It would also be recalled that it was reported on June 17 that two
structures belonging suspected kidnappers in Ogidi and Ojoto
communities in Idemili North and South Local Government Areas of Anambra
state were demolished by the police.
