Man claiming to be ondo missing childs abductor remanded
Here is a summary of the article:
A man who claimed to be the abductor of the missing children in Ondo State has been remanded in prison custody by a Magistrate Court in Akure, the state capital.
The man, who was identified as 35-year-old Olamide Ogunleye, was arrested by the police on Tuesday after he was found with a child in his possession.
Ogunleye claimed that he was the one who abducted the children, but the police investigation revealed that he was not involved in the abductions.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Adebayo Adeleye, told the court that Ogunleye was arrested after a tip-off from a member of the public.
Adeleye said that during interrogation, Ogunleye confessed to the crime, but later retracted his statement, claiming that he was being framed by the police.
The magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Ogunsemi, remanded Ogunleye in prison custody pending further investigation and possible trial.
The court also ordered that the child found with Ogunleye be taken into protective custody.
The case has been adjourned to February 27 for further hearing.
It is not clear if Ogunleye is indeed the abductor of the missing children, but his arrest and remand in prison custody is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the abductions.
