of the Inspector-General of Police, Special Intelligence Response Team,
have arrested a kidnapper who has already confessed of masterminding
the abduction of oil mogul, Femi Otedola.
Ikechukwu Daniel
An armed robbery suspect, Ikechukwu Daniel, also known as Ike, has
disclosed that his gang hatched a plan to kidnap billionaire
businessman, Femi Otedola, but the plot was foiled by the police.
According to reports, he confessed that his gang planned to kidnap
Otedola at a function in Ibadan, Oyo State in November 2015, but called
off their attempt due to the presence of security operatives.
“It would have been impossible because the security there was
heavy that day. We decided to take our time and prepare well for the
operation,” he said.
He confesses further that someone working with Otedola brought them the job.
“The person told us that he was going to be in Ibadan and when
we went there, we realised that there was heavy security presence around
him. I told my gang members that we had to prepare well for the
operation to be successful. I told them we needed to do a sacrifice and fortify ourselves spiritually before attempting to kidnap him.
Then, we decided that we also needed army, DSS and police uniforms
because without impersonation, there was no way we could get him.
“The man who brought the job was supposed to monitor his
movements regularly. I already planned that if we abducted him
successfully, it would have been my last job because I would have
demanded N2bn and maybe we would have negotiated for N500m,” he said.
But that would never be before the police captured Daniel, whose gang was said to have become a terror in the South West.
He was arrested sometimes in June at Festac Town in Lagos while negotiating the ransom of a victim kidnapped in Ibadan.
His disclosure emerged following Inspector-General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris’ directive to the force Intelligence Response Team (IRT)
to arrest anyone linked to the kidnap of Senator Anisulowo.
