The level some men go
these days just to satisfy
a woman's needs is quite
ridiculous. As you read
this, a 48yrs old father,
Adeyinka Adebayo, has
confessed in the custody
of the SSS how he
masterminded the kidnap
of his own 9-year-old son
in the Badagry area of
Lagos.
Adebayo said he
committed the shameful
act because he thought
his church will give him
money for the ransom so
that he could use the
money to take care of his
28yrs old girlfriend.
" At the end of the
day , I was able to
raise N450,000 from
my church members
and friends, who
earlier refused to
help me," the father
confesses.
The girlfriend, Kehinde
Alonge, alos participated
in the sham kidnap.
Parading Adebayo and his
lover before journalists,
the Director, Lagos State
Command of the SSS, Mr.
Victor Achu, explained
that Adebayo had on
October 3 reported at the
command that his son
had been kidnapped.
Achu said: “The command
swung into action.
Preliminary investigations
confirmed the kidnap of
the boy by one Kehinde
Alonge, who demanded a
ransom of N350,000 for
his release and directed
that the money be paid
into a UBA account.
“The account was later
discovered to be owned
by one Taiwo Faloye.
After series of tactical
planning, the owner of the
account and Kehinde were
arrested at Ilesha, Osun
State, while trying to
withdraw the money.”
A mild drama, however,
unfolded following an
argument between
Adebayo and Kehinde
over who brought up the
kidnap plan.
While Adebayo claimed
Kehinde hatched the plan
to get the N200,000 she
needed to open a
hairdressing saloon, she
interrupted, stating that
“he is lying. I was in
Ilesha when he called me
to come to Lagos that
some people owed him
money.
“He said the only way to
collect the money from
them was for me to come
and take his son away,
while he pretends that he
had been kidnapped.
“I came to Lagos on
October 4. I intended
going to the school to
pick the boy, but Adebayo
advised I picked him from
the house. Since the
children knew me, I told
the boy to follow me to
get something outside and
entered the next available
vehicle to Ilesha, Osun
State. His father even
gave me N3,000 for
transport.
Counter allegation
But Adebayo insisted that
his girlfriend needs the
money. He said: “My
girlfriend said she needed
money to open her own
hair dressing saloon.
Since I was not financially
buoyant, I decided to raise
money by masterminding
my son’s kidnap.
“I am a vulcanizer and
business had not been
booming. Anyone I
approached for money
usually declined to assist
me. To get money from
my church members in
particular, I had to
mastermind my son’s
kidnap.
“He spent nine days at my
girlfriend’s house. I regret
my action because my
son may never forgive me
if he is told. I feel
ashamed also because
his mother has been
down with stroke, though
we are no longer married.
“I beg to be forgiven. It
was the handiwork of the
devil.”
The SSS is however
insisting that Mr Adebayo
and Kehinde would be
charged to court.
The suspects, according
to Ochu, would be
charged to court.
