The Police in Lagos State on Monday said that they have rescued a two-year old baby girl kidnapped on March 24 from a Mountain of Fire Ministry Church at Agege in Lagos.
\nThe command\u2019s spokesman, DSP Bala Elkana, confirmed the arrest on Monday in a statement, saying that two suspects were arrested while attempting to collect a ransom.<\/p>\n

Elkana said that at about 8:00 a.m. on Monday, acting on credible intelligence, the Divisional Police Officer, Igando Police Station, CSP Taiwo Kasumu, led his plain clothed surveillance men on the trail of the suspects.<\/p>\n

He said the suspects had abducted the baby, one Esther Ojo, two years old, from the MFM Regional Headquarters at Agege on March 24, 2019 at 12:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kidnappers, one Nwaigbo Magnus and Sixtus Osunwoke Egwim, already demanded a ransom of an undisclosed amount from the parents of the baby and the church.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kidnappers continued to change the venue of the collection of the ransom within the Igando axis for over four hours, until they were rounded up by the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon interrogation, the DPO followed up on available information and the baby was recovered from a hidden den and reunited with the parents, Mr. and Mrs Jame Oladipo Ojo, and other well wishers, all crying for joy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The imagemaker said the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Zubairu Muazu, directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to investigate and charge the suspects to court.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
