A 26-year-old man, Adelaja Samson has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command one year after his alleged involvement in the kidnap and killing of a Chinese national.
According to reports, the suspect, alongside his gang members, kidnapped the Chinese national at Okunowa Ijebu, in Ogun State in February 2020 and kept him in their hideout at Agbowa Ikosi, Lagos State, where they eventually killed him and dumped his corpse in a river.
Confirming the arrest on Friday, the spokesman for the Command, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the suspect was arrested in Emuren, Ogun State, where he had taken cover after he allegedly murdered the Chinese.
Adelaja, during interrogation, confessed that he belongs to the Aiye confraternity and that other members of his gang that took part in the kidnap and murder of the Chinese had been arrested by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).
