The police in Osun state have arrested one of the suspected abductors
of Professor Olayinka Adegbehingbe, an orthopaedic surgeon at the
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.

paid N5.45m ransom.
The state commissioner of police, Abidoun Ige, who paraded the
suspect, Usman Ladan, before newsmen at the state command headquarters
yesterday, said Professor Adegbehingbe was the one who identified the
suspect as one of his abductors. The police chief added that one of the
alleged abductors was arrested while wandering aimlessly in Ikire, two
others were arrested in the Iwo area for other crimes.
The suspects are Samaila Gede from Katsina State; Kemu Rejuli from
Niger Republic; and Jubril Momhammed from Katsina State, who were said
to have been apprehended with assorted charms.
The commissioner added that the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations have been concluded.
