The Lagos State Police Command,

the year.
The five kidnappers, identified as
Felix Silver, 38; Oluwadare Segun, 32; Taye Videznon, Loco Amos, Funmi Adeshina,
Adesola Ognmefum and Adebowale Johnson, were arrested after they kidnapped the
Chinese.
Parading the suspects, Lagos State
Commissioner of Police, Owoseni Fatai, who disclosed that Felix Silver was
arrested last week, said he is the leader of armed robbery and kidnapping
operations in Ikorodu, Epe and Ibafo axis. Suspect’s account narrating how they
carried out the kidnapping of the three students of Babington Macaulay,
38-year-old Felix Silver said: “We bore a hole in a section of the school fence
through which we gained entrance and kidnapped the girls.
“We got N5.4 million as ransom and
my share was N300, 000. “When the police began to look for me, I went
underground. They arrested my sister and my son. I have been on the run till a
friend, Adebowale Johnson, called me to assist him to kidnap his Chinese boss,
Hang Kumming, because they have been slashing his salary.
“The operation was successful, but
we were arrested after some of the workers confessed. I was in a hotel with my
girlfriend in Ikorodu when I was arrested by operatives of Special Anti-Robbery
Squad. “In Lagos State, I have participated in about three kidnap operations. I
have never killed anyone during operations. “I was not among the group that
killed the DSS operatives. I was a trader before I got involved in kidnapping.” (vanguard)
