Suspected child abductor has been arrested by the Ogun state Police Command after he was caught by passersby trying to strangle an 11-year-old girl in an uncompleted building in the Oyero area of Ijoko, Ogun State.
According to a report, the suspect, Ola Ibikunle, who confessed to have abducted a 3-year-old boy and sold him for N1,500 to a man in Sango, was handed over to operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Agbado Police Division.
The suspect was beaten by an angry mob before the arrival of the police.
The victim’s father, Segun, narrating the incident, said that he and his children were on their way to church when the abduction took place.
