The kidnappers transported him to a remote creek in Ondo State via the waterways and demanded a ransom of ₦200 million. The family, however, managed to gather ₦42 million, which was converted to $30,000, along with an additional ₦100,000 in cash.
Initially, the victim’s elder brother volunteered to deliver the ransom, but the kidnappers insisted on speaking directly with the victim’s wife. Despite her advanced pregnancy, they demanded that she personally deliver the ransom, threatening to kill her husband if she did not comply.
Determined to save her husband, the woman embarked on a grueling journey accompanied by a driver. The kidnappers led her on a circuitous route, directing her from Ore to Sagamu, then back to Ajah, before finally instructing her to stop at Odogbolu in Ogun State. There, she was forced to trek 20 minutes through a bush path to drop off the ransom.
Fortunately, the oil magnate was released in Epe and made his way back home. He revealed that his captors had taken a gold necklace worth ₦25 million, a gold hand chain valued at ₦11.8 million, and two gold rings worth ₦3.4 million. Once the ransom was delivered, the kidnappers contacted their associates to arrange his release.
The victim’s family reported the kidnapping to the police but did not involve detectives in the ransom delivery. However, Lagos Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, ordered his technical team, led by CSP Kehinde Oni, to investigate and apprehend the culprits.
Three suspects—Adelaja Ikuesan, 37, Tosin Oke, 40, and Oluwabunmi Yusuf, 39—were eventually arrested. The suspects confessed to their involvement in the crime, expressing regret and vowing never to engage in such activities again.
Ikuesan, a professional speedboat driver from Ondo State, admitted his role in the operation, stating that he had met the other suspects during bunkering activities. Tosin Oke, known as “Old Soldier,” revealed that he had used his share of the ransom to address family issues and denied using the proceeds to build a mansion in Badagry.
The suspects disclosed that they sold the victim’s gold chains and divided the ransom among themselves. Oke sent ₦400,000 to Ikuesan, who later used his share to purchase a new boat.
Both suspects are married, with Oke fathering nine children from different women, and Ikuesan having one wife and a daughter.
