The Lagos State Police Command said it has finally arrested one Adelaja Segun Moses, a 26 years old man allegedly involved in kidnapping and killing one Chinese national in February 2020.

Adelaja was arrested on Saturday in Emuren, Ogun State during a sting operation one year after he committed the offence.

The suspect, a strong member of Aiye Confraternity, and his cohort were said to have kidnapped the Chinese national at Okunowa, Ijebu in Ogun State but was kept in their hideout at Otta-Agbowa Ikosi, Lagos State.

In a statement on Friday, the Police spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said they eventually killed the captive and dumped his corpse in Agbowa-Ikosi river.

He said the corpse has not been recovered up till date.

“The suspect has confessed that other members of the gang have been arrested by the Intelligence Responses Team, Force Intelligence Bureau, Abuja.”

Adejobi said the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered the command’s Strike Team that arrested Adelaja to work with the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) on the investigation into the case.

He further assured that Lagos State will be hot for criminals and “bad boys” who venture into criminal activities in the state.
