Ogun State's sobriquet is the Gateway State but it is gradually changing it's name to kidnapper's playground as most of the victims of kidnapping from Lagos and other neighbouring states have been traced to the rocky town.
Barely a week after a three-year-old girl who was kidnapped from a church in Lagos was found in Ogun, another five-year-old, Abraham Adeyemi, a pupil of New Way Nursery and Primary School, Lagos, was kidnapped and later discovered in front of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Imedu Nla, Mowe, in the Obafemi-Owode local government area of the Ogun State.
The kid who was found and brought to the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) secretariat at, Iwe Iroyin, Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta, reportedly told said his parents was in lagos and could only remember the name of his school.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, the boy said his sister's name is Sarah while could only identify his parents simply as 'Daddy Sarah and Mummy Sarah.'
The victim also that his mother sold recharge cards in their area in Lagos.
The sharp boy told the police that the people who abducted him said they were taking him to an eatery.
"They told me that we were going to Mr. Biggs."
Adejobi told newsmen:
"The police found him on Sunday at the Foursquare Gospel Church, Imedu Nla, Mowe. We suspected that Adeyemi must have been kidnapped in Lagos and dumped here in Ogun State.
This is because the boy kept telling the police that he lives in Canal; and we all know that canals are common in Lagos.
We are not sure whether any ransom has been demanded. The boy is currently with us."
