According to a statement made on August 15 by SP Adewale Oyifeso, the state police command's spokesperson, the kidnap mastermind works with a syndicate whose method of operation is to conduct thorough background checks on potential victims before notifying them in writing of his plans to kidnap them unless a certain amount of money could be paid to him.
Oyifeso claims that on August 11 at around 8 a.m., members of the gang threatened to kidnap three of the university's students if the administration failed to pay up (#10,000,000) Ten Million Naira within a given time frame in a "Hand-Written" note to the management of a private university institution in Oyo town.
''The threat as expected, disrupted academic activities within the University, stirring up panic and uncertainty among the university community.
Basking under the euphoria of what they presumed was a successful scheme, and blinded with greed, they decided to extend a similar (hand-written) notification to a branch office of a New Generation Bank within Owode Area, Oyo with the intentions of invading it later in the week.
Consequent upon the above, discreet forensic based investigations were carried out and this led to the arrest of one Azeez Mufutau ‘M’ whose phone numbers were inscribed on the ‘’Hand-written notes’’ sent to the both the school management and bank.''the statement read
Oyifeso claimed that after being questioned, the suspect admitted that the phone number on the Note belonged to him but denied being the author of the document.
