How A Female Boss Was Kidnapped By Her Own Driver In Lagos [photo]

A suspected member of a kidnap syndicate arrested weekend in Ajah area of Lagos State has confessed that his gang was hired by driver of their victim, one Obinna Akammadu.

The suspect, identified as Solomon Ugoji, was reportedly rescued from a mob that was about to lynch him, by policemen attached to Area ‘M’ Command, Ajah.

He disclosed that Akammadu, the driver, informed him and his colleagues, now at large, that he was going to pick his boss, owner of Victoria Water Service, from the airport last Saturday.

According to him: “The plan was that we would kidnap the woman on reaching Lekki, take her to a hide out around Ajah/Epe, from where we would call her relatives and demand for ransom.”

He said they had succeeded in kidnapping the woman, but ran into traffic at Ajah. The woman jumped out of the car and raised alarm.

Narrating her ordeal to police, the woman that was almost kidnapped, who does not want her name in print, expressed surprise over what she described as a movie.

She said: “I was shocked when the men opened the door that was supposed to be locked. But for God’s intervention, I do not know what would have happened to me.”

Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, said policemen on patrol noticed the struggle in the vehicle and intervened, adding that policemen were on the trail of the driver and two others.

He disclosed that the suspect would be transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, for further investigation.
