| KIDNAPPER- MARY AKINLOYE |
The Lagos State Commissioner for Police, Mr. Kayode Aderanti has advised employers of domestic staff such as nannies, cooks, drivers and gardners to seek the services of the Divisional Police and Police Area Commands in their localities to do a profiling of their new employees before they bring them into their homes.
Aderanti made this appeal during an interview on Channels TV Sunrise Daily show, Thursday morning.
He spoke against the backdrop of the kidnap of the three kids of Mrs. Adebisi Orekoya, by a nanny, Mary Akinloye, whom she employed, last week Monday, through OLX (an online sales portal).
Aderanti however, said operatives from the Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB) of the Lagos State Police Command have rescued the three kids on Tuesday, at the Shasha, Egbeda area of Lagos, adding that the kids have since been reunited with their mother.
He said the suspect, was arrested on Wednesday, by 9.20pm at Shasha, Lagos, noting that investigations were still ongoing and the Press would soon be briefed on new developments.
According to the Lagos Police boss, “To forestall this kind of unfortunate incident, Lagosians who want to employ the services of domestic staff should visit the Divisional Police or Area Commands within their locality to seek a Police profiling of the said staff. Seeking a profiling of employed domestic staff by the Police Divisions and Area Commanders is easier and bears no cost-implication,”he said.
The CP added that “the profiling of the domestic staff before they are employed also helps to check if they have had any previous criminal background, and as well helps to get their data such as fingerprint, photograph, name and other personal information.
“This profiling step helps the Police to quickly and efficiently arrest the situation should the employed domestic staff engage in any criminal activity after being employed,” he advised.
MORE DETAILS......
More details continue to emerge on the arrest of Mary Adebiyi, the nanny who abducted the Orekoya kids and who was picked up by operatives of SARS, led by Abba Kyari yesterday last night at Coker Estate, Shasha , Akowonjo, Lagos
She was arrested with her maid after she fled her home when she realised police operatives have closed in on her.
The police say contrary to what she told her employer and the OLX portal, her real name is Funmilayo Adeyemi and she hails from Osun State. She had earlier claimed Oyo State to her cover tracts.
According to Police sources, Adebiyi is not new in the kidnapped business, she was the mastermind of the December, 2014 kidnap of two boys, Raphael and Michael Esharegaran from their parents home in Magodo, Lagos. The boys were reunited with their parents after N2.5million ransom was paid.
Sources also said, she runs the kidnap syndicate with others, who are still at large and effort is on to arrest the other members of the gang.
How Nanny was arrested
Immediately the kidnapped case was reported, the SARS team swung into action, asking the Orekoyas to pay a fraction of the ransom into the account of an unnamed bank, said to have been opened in Oyo State. SARS investigation revealed a link between the contact number on the account and that of the nanny.
The kidnappers and her gang withdrew N400,000 from the account using the ATM as the Police set up surveillance on the account and calls on the mobile phones of members of the syndicate.
According to sources, all plans to lure the nanny out of her den failed, but sensing danger, she quickly abandoned the children, which were found Tuesday night, thinking the discovery will get the SARS team off her trail but the police tighten the noose on her. She hurriedly evacuated her home in Coker Estate and was on the verge of leaving town when the law enforcement agents finally caught her with a maid, Wednesday night.
The Police are still on the trail of other members of the gang.
