A three-man robbery gang has ended in police custody in Ondo
State after they held a mother of four, Folashade Jayeoba, hostage and led her
to the bank to withdraw N90,000. She was led to the bank after she complained
to the suspects that she had no cash at home.
The leader of the gang, thereafter, asked for her ATM card
and they followed her to the bank while they held her children hostage.
Parading the suspects, the state Police Commissioner, Hilda
Harrison, said the suspects invaded the house of the victim and robbed her of
valuables, including a flat screen television.
Harrison explained that they also abducted the victim and
her four children and led them to Keystone Bank in Alagbaka, Akure, where she
was forced to withdraw N90,000. The commissioner added that the money was
collected from the victim before she and the children were set free by the
suspects.
According to her, on receipt of the case, detectives swung
into action and arrested the leader of the gang, 23-year-old Samuel Ayodele, at
Gaga, Oke-Aro area of the Akure metropolis. He was said to have confessed to the crime,
while the victims’ items were recovered from his house.
