Suspected notorious criminal arrested 2 days after kidnapping soldier in Lagos

An alleged kidnapping kingpin, Wosiu Oloyede, has been arrested just two days after the reported abduction of a serving soldier in the Alagbado area of Lagos.

According to a report by security analyst Zagozola Makama, Oloyede, believed to be the leader of a notorious kidnapping syndicate, was tracked down by police operatives in the Odo Pako area of Ota, Ogun State, on Sunday.

“Oloyede’s gang had kidnapped a soldier in Alagbado, Lagos, on Friday, stealing his uniform, ID card, ATM cards, and phone. The soldier managed to escape.

“Oloyede attempted to use the stolen uniform to deceive and overpower a Vigilante member, trying to snatch his dane gun. However, his plan was foiled, and he was arrested,” Makama said.
