Security Officer Links Ex-Girlfriend to Kidnapping Case

Adekunle Adegboyega Aderinsoye, a Nigerian security officer based in Germany, testified in a Lagos High Court in Ikeja regarding his alleged kidnapping, linking his former girlfriend, Bunmi Mosaku, to the incident. Aderinsoye recounted that after a brief two-week relationship with Mosaku in Nigeria, she claimed to be pregnant, prompting him to send her money.

His suspicions grew when a friend reported that Mosaku was not pregnant, leading him to sever ties with her. Aderinsoye was later abducted and taken to a location where he encountered Mosaku.

He reported being beaten, robbed of his belongings, and forced to disclose his ATM PIN for withdrawals. His captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million, but a friend managed to pay ₦500,000 for his release.

The court admitted photographs of his injuries as evidence. During cross-examination, Aderinsoye acknowledged he did not see the second defendant at the hotel or the uncompleted building.

The case was adjourned until February 9, 2027, for further proceedings.
