A
27-year-old secondary school dropout, Ismaila Dauda, has been arrested by the
Ogun State Police Command for an alleged abduction.
Dauda,
a fledgling actor, based in Ondo, was accused of attempting to abduct the wife
of the traditional ruler of Ilisan Remo in March 2013, with the help of three
others- Segun, Nurudeen and an unidentified man.
However,
Dauda said he was not aware that he was part of a gang of kidnappers until too
late.
He
said, “At the time, I was not aware that it was a planned abduction. Segun is a
close friend and had borrowed my car. Because the car was without a spare tyre
and not in good condition, I offered to drive him wherever he wanted.
“I
was under the impression that Segun was in search of a suitable school for his
teaching practice as he is a student of a College of Education,” Dauda said.
Dauda,
Segun and Nurudeen allegedly left Ondo, while a fourth unidentified man was
picked up at Ore. Under Segun’s direction, Dauda allegedly drove to a secondary
school close to the palace of the Oba of Ilisan in Ogun State.
