BAYELSA POLICE PARADE SUSPECTED KIDNAP KINGPIN
Yenagoa, Bayelsa State - The Bayelsa State Police Command has paraded a suspected kidnap kingpin, identified as Victor Ogunleye, for allegedly masterminding several high-profile kidnappings in the state.
Ogunleye, a 35-year-old native of Ogun State, was arrested by the police on Tuesday, following a tip-off from a reliable source.
The suspect, who claimed to be a businessman, was said to have been involved in the kidnapping of several prominent individuals, including a former commissioner in the state, a businessman, and a pastor.
According to the police, Ogunleye was arrested at his hideout in a forest in the state, where he was found with a cache of arms and ammunition.
