Lagos Woman Rescued After N21m Kidnapping Ransom
A Lagos businesswoman was kidnapped from her home in Ijedodo, Lagos State, and held for three days by an Ondo-based gang. Her release was secured after her family paid a ransom of N21 million, along with a bottle of Eagle Schnapps, a power bank, and one kilogram of frozen turkey.
The Lagos State Police Command's Anti-Kidnapping Unit arrested three suspects: Semi Buawe, 35; Bamure Telemowei; and Oluwatomi Obosi, 37, while searching for their alleged leader known as ID. The gang operated from Agadagba, Ese-Odo Local Government Area in Ondo State, traveling to Lagos to abduct residents.
Buawe confessed to participating in the operation, stating that ID chose the victim after spotting her home. The victim was reportedly deprived of food for two days and only consumed biscuits on the third day.
The gang initially rejected a N16 million offer from the victim's family before settling on N21 million. Buawe claimed to have received N1.5 million from the ransom.
