    The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has arrested two suspects in connection with the kidnapping of the wife of Hakeem Odumosu, a retired assistant inspector-general of police (AIG).

    A statement by Muyiwa Adejobi, force spokesperson, said the suspects, identified as Agbojule Smart and Keleke Michael, were apprehended early on Friday as they attempted to leave Lagos state.

    Adejobi said the suspects confessed to being part of the gang that abducted the victim on January 16 in Ogun state.

    He added that police recovered N2,250,000, which was part of the ransom paid by the victim’s family, along with two locally made rifles and 11 live cartridges.

    “The suspects were arrested in the early hours of today, 24th January 2025 while on their way out of Lagos state,” Adejobi said.

    “Upon interrogation, they confessed to their crime; belonging to a gang of 4, 2 of whom have been neutralized previously.

    “Recovered from the suspects upon their arrest were the sum of Two Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N2,250,000), which was part of the requested ransom, 2 locally fabricated rifles, and 11 live cartridges.”

    The arrest comes a day after the police announced the rescue of Odumosu’s wife.

    According to the police, she was freed following a gunfight at the kidnappers’ hideout. Two of the suspects were killed during the operation, while others escaped.

    Adejobi said the police also recovered four AK-47 rifles, three locally made single-barrel rifles, various ammunition, and N10 million in ransom money.
