A man masterminded the kidnap of his grandmother - Police

 BENIN—A 28-year-old man, Kelvin Osagie, who allegedly masterminded the kidnap of his grandmother, Madam Victor Aiwerioghene, has been arrested by men from the Intelligence Unit of Zone 5 Command of the Nigeria Police, Benin, Edo State.

The suspect, police report said, colluded with others and abducted the woman from her home in Ikpoba Hill area of Benin last  July.

Osagie’s arrest was made possible by information obtained by police from one of the kidnappers, Fred Omoruyi, who was earlier arrested.

Omoruyi, who had since been charged to court on a two-count charge in connection with the crime, reportedly told police investigators that Osagie made the arrangement to kidnap his paternal grandmother.

According to police sources, Omoruyi was said to have confessed to the crime, insisting that it was Osagie who contacted him and another suspect, now at large, to execute the plot.

According to a statement: “The police went after the said Kelvin Osagie, got him arrested and will charge him to court after investigation had been concluded.”
