The Police in Lagos, on Monday, said they have arrested two suspected kidnappers and rescued a two-year-old baby girl abducted on March 24, at the Mountain of Fire Ministry Church at Agege area of the state.

The command’s spokesman, DSP Bala Elkana, said the two suspects were arrested while attempting to collect a ransom.

Elkana said at about 8:00am on Monday, acting on credible intelligence, the Divisional Police Officer, Igando Police Station, CSP Taiwo Kasumu, led his plain clothed surveillance men on the trail of the suspects.

“The kidnappers, one Nwaigbo Magnus and Sixtus Osunwoke Egwim, already demanded a ransom of an undisclosed amount from the parents of the baby and the church. “The kidnappers continued to change the venue of the collection of the ransom within the Igando axis for over four hours, until they were rounded up by the police.

“Upon interrogation, the DPO followed up on available information and the baby was recovered from a hidden den and reunited with the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jame Oladipo Ojo, and other well-wishers, all crying for joy,” he said. (NAN)
