Police kill suspected kidnapper during gun battle

A suspected kidnapper, Mufutau Sulaimon, has been killed during a gun battle with the police in Lagos.

According to a statement by the spokesman of the Lagos state Police Command, DSP Bala Elkana, Sulaimon a.k.a Pencil, has been on the wanted list after the kidnap and murder of two bureau de change operators at Ikorodu in March.

He added that the trail of Sulaimon was successful after sustained monitoring by a team of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

“On 23/6/2019 at about 9.10 pm, a notorious kidnap ring leader who led his deadly gang in the kidnap and murder of two Bureau De Change operators at Ikorodu on the 14/3/2019 after collecting a ransom of N 1.6 m is dead.

“His gang is responsible for mysterious disappearance of people in Ikorodu over a period of time whom they kidnapped, demanded for ransom, murdered and dumped them in septic tank.”
Elkana explained that the SARS team had arrested three members of his gang and found the bodies of the Bureau De Change operators and two other victims.

“They are serial killers, rapists and cultists. Three members of his gang were earlier arrested by SARS operatives and they led the operatives to their den at Ikorodu where corpses of the two Bureau De Change operators and two other victims were recovered.
