The 67-year-old, Oyinlade, was later freed 24 hours after his abduction by the gunmen following the alleged payment of two million naira as ransom and negotiation for his release.
However, Mohammed was nabbed by the police alongside two other alleged accomplices, identified as Aisha Bello, 20 and Isah Bello, 40 over the kidnapping of the Chief Imam.
Parading the suspect on Tuesday, 4 July, 2023 in Akure, the state capital, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya said the suspects were arrested after the wife of the kidnap victim, Mrs Bodunde, came to report the incident to the police.
She revealed that the victim’s wife had complained to the police that her husband (the Chief Imam) went to his farm and had not returned at the time of reporting his unknown whereabouts to the police.
