The kidnap kingpin, identified as 'Onye Army' was trying to escape from Special Anti-Robbery Squared men from the Lagos Police command when he met his death...
They were about to arrest him when he killed himself, said a police
source. It was learnt that operatives of SARS tracked 'Onye Army' to
the hotel, and in order to evade being caught, he jumped from the
balcony of his room on the second floor of the building.
Although Hon. Bamigbetan was set free by his abductors on Saturday night, five days after his kidnapped, it was learnt that police pressure could be part of the reasons he was released.
According to Punch, one of the suspects arrested by SARS following Bamigbetan’s kidnap gave the police the information on 'Onye Army' and how to track him.
A police source said, “Onye Army was actually in the hotel with some members of the kidnapping gang. However, by the time SARS operatives got there, other members of his group had cleared out leaving just Onye Army.
“While some of the SARS operatives went up to his room and knocked on the door, some waited by the entrance of the hotel. It seems, however, that Onye Army had sighted them through his window because he refused to open up the door. When they started to force the door open, he came out on the balcony, hoping to jump down safely and make his escape.
“Unfortunately, it was a fatal fall. Onye Army broke both legs and his spine; he was in serious pains. Despite all attempts to keep him alive and lead the SARS operatives to the hideout where his colleagues were keeping Bamigbetan, he died while being rushed to the hospital.”
A family friend of Hon. Bamigbetan told Punch on condition of anonymity that a ransom of N15m was paid to secure his release. He said, “After the family paid the N15m, the kidnappers reneged on the agreement and demanded another N10m.
“But to our surprise, they suddenly released Bamigbetan on Saturday.”
