Kidnappers hide Lagos female banker inside bush(Photo)

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a suspected kidnapper, Mr. Anthony Agidi, for allegedly belonging to a gang which abducted a female bank worker, Mrs. Ladi Garba, in July this year.

Punch Metro learnt that the Garba was an employee of Keystone Bank when she was kidnapped by the gang in the Lekki area of Lagos.

Agidi was tracked down to a community chairman’s house in Ekenwa, Benin, Edo State by SARS Commander, SP Abba Kyari, and his team, where the suspect was arrested.

Agidi, a native of Ughelli, Delta State, said …

“I live in Awoyaya in the Ibeju-Lekki area. I was formerly working as a welder before I joined the gang. The kidnapping of Garba in July was our eighth operation. On that day, we made use of two vehicles. We were seven in number.Steve was the one who blocked the banker’s SUV. We took her away, but left her car, so we would not be traced. Two of us had constructed a nylon tent in a bush where we kept her.

“Any food she requested was what we gave her. We wanted to collect the N6m, but we did not get the money before the police came after us. The police traced our hideout while one of us went to collect ransom from the banker’s family. When the police swooped on us, I was able to escape with a gunshot injury.”

Agidi, who is married with two children, added that he had made about N10m from the kidnapping operations led by the gang in Delta and Lagos states.He said,

“I was living in Port Harcourt before I came to Lagos in 2011. I was jobless, and met one Henry who later introduced me to the gang. They took me out on the first operation.That was in October 2011. I was given N280,000. We went to kidnap a woman in Benin.

“The second was also in Benin, and I got N100,000. The third was in Delta, where we kidnapped a woman. I was given N2.8m. We had collected about N9m ransom from her. We usually targetpeople in expensive cars.

“Our seventh operation was in the Ajah area of Lagos. That was in June and our victim was a woman. I was given N350,000 from the operation

“The eighth operation was the abduction of the female bank worker in July.”

PHOTO: PDP Governors Prostrate For Obasanjo To Persuade Him To Work For Jonathan

More than seven Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors this morning arrived the Abeokuta, Ogun State, hilltop residence of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to persuade him to work for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan in next year’s presidential election.

Two of the governors, Liyel Imoke of Cross River State and Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, arrived Obasanjo’s residence at 12.55 p.m. and swiftly moved into the house w…ithout any banters with journalists who were there.

The identity of some of the governors could not be confirmed as the registration numbers of their cars were covered.

A close aide of Obasanjo confirmed that all the governors were from the PDP and that they came to persuade Obasanjo not to abandon the party at this crucial moment when his support is highly needed.

The aide also confirmed that Obasanjo was aware of their coming as he had earlier held a meeting with some of his associates on the visit of the PDP governors.

“Throughout last night Baba Obasanjo met with us to discuss the visit by the PDP governors and the position to take. Baba pointedly told us that he remains a staunch member of PDP and that he was not fighting anybody but cannot accept an indicted fellow to be his leader,”

It was also gathered that the main purpose of the governors’ visit was to persuade Obasanjo to throw his weight behind the re-election of President Jonathan in 2015 and stop giving tacit support to the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in its quest to dislodge the ruling parrty from the centre.
