“We  kidnapped another businessman in Aduwawa, Benin city where we snatched his Toyota Highlander jeep.”

On the where-about of the other  four members, he said;

“I heard they were arrested, and I quickly ran to Lagos so that they will not catch me; I was shocked how the police got me now.”

Baguba Usman and Yusuf Ismaila, who were named as accomplices to the abductions, were arrested in the Ahor forest, on March 24, by the anti-kidnapping and cyber-crime unit.

“I escaped from prison on October 19, 2020, after some people broke into the prison by force and asked us to go.
