Operatives from Ekiti State Police Command have arrested three suspected members of a notorious kidnap gang, one of them, Bunmi Ogunremi, 49, aka Bunmi Bafon who hails from Ado-Ekiti and their food supplier, Taiwo Fayoke.
The command’s spokesperson, ASP Abutu Sunday, in a statement on Monday, November 8, said that the suspects have confessed to multiple kidnappings in the state including that of late Chief Abiodun Ajayi, who was abducted earlier this year in Ado-Ekiti.
Late Ajayi jumped from their vehicle but later died in the hospital during treatment due to the injuries he sustained.
“On 06/11/2021 at about 16:00hrs, the Command’s Rapid Response Squad(RRS), based on a thorough investigation, arrested one Ogunremi Bunmi ‘m’, the son of late Chief Ogunremi Sesan of Ado-Ekiti and one Ige Adu ‘m’ of Ikere-Ekiti for multiple kidnappings and other heinous crimes,” the PPRO stated.
