In a statement by the So-Safe spokesman, Moruf Yusuf, said the kidnappers dispossessed their victim of a sum of N130,000 and the documents of his motorcycle.

“The suspected kidnappers, after their successful operation, demanded for N4 million ransom before they could release Oseni.

“The So-Safe Corps patrol team’s timely response led to the arrest of the two suspected kidnappers, whilst others are at large, despite the intensive combing of the location.

The suspect was identified as Mohammed Lawal, aged 20 years, a resident of Sharagi Area of Karaoke, while the other is 25-year-old Sarafa Asimiu, a resident of Amusa Yusuf house, Oke-Aje, Ibadan.
