In a shocking incident, a woman and her son were arrested this morning in Lagos for allegedly plotting the kidnapping of the son’s father. The arrest, carried out by the Lagos State Police Command, has left the local community in disbelief.
The suspects, identified as Mrs. Selina Adeola and her 27-year-old son, Genesis Adeola, were apprehended at their residence in the Ikeja area of Lagos. According to the police, the duo had been planning the abduction for several weeks, with the motive believed to be financial gain.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that the son, Genesis, was the mastermind behind the plot, allegedly convincing his mother to participate in the scheme. The police are currently investigating whether other individuals were involved.
Neighbors expressed shock at the news, describing the family as quiet and unassuming. “I can’t believe it. They seemed like a normal family. Who would have thought they were capable of such a thing?” one neighbor remarked.
The suspects are currently in police custody and are expected to be charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping, a crime that carries severe penalties under Nigerian law.
The Lagos State Police Command has urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities, emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in preventing crime.
As investigations continue, more details about the case are expected to emerge.
