By Chuks Ekpeneru

The Ogun State Police Command has transferred the case involving a 29-year-old teacher, Odugbesan Ayodele Samson, who kidnapped his former pupil, eight-year-old Rasaq Akeeb, to the anti-kidnapping unit of the state CIID for further investigation and prosecution.

Samson allegedly committed the offence on the 4th of November.

Police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, told newsmen on Wednesday that the suspect kidnapped the pupil and demanded for ransom from the mother, Fatimat Akeeb.

The mother reported the case to the Ajuwon divisional police headquarters.

Acting on the report, the police commenced investigation leading to the discovery of the suspect’s hideout.

In his confession after his arrest, the suspect blamed the devil.

The Police PRO said the mother of the victim said the suspect called her to pay a ransom of N200,000 if she wished to see her son alive.

“She stated further that the caller told her that the boy was brought to him by somebody and he will not release him until the said amount was paid,” it was learnt.

“In order not to harm the victim, the suspect was lured out with part payment of his demanded ransom; he was subsequently apprehended and he took the police detectives to where he kept the victim and he was rescued unhurt.

“On interrogation, he confessed committing the crime but blamed it on the devil,” the PPRO stated.
